Sounds like a theory worth testing!

If the query returned 0 results and didn't have

exactly what that changes that means but we can totally implement the retry
if we think it'll help.
The idea is that it might not be performant enough to run super duper
strong suggester settings all the time and when there are no results it
important to have suggestions.
For reference, only 20% of 0 results queries that I counted this morning
returned a suggestion. I don't know how many asked for it though.
