What about 204? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/204
- If I query for an identifier which doesn't exist - Server replies 404, this should fall into my error handling as there's a data inconsistency
- If I query say like ?category=automotive&price=1 and I get a 200 containing a json body in which there's an empty list of matches, then my client code can handle 0 matches as well as 1 or 10 with no special handling.
