I’m not sure. I think I’d prefer if it did something like:
James Bond (not available on Netflix)
That way I wouldn’t have to click through to see whether it’s on there.
I guess the status quo feels shitty to me because aside from dealing with the disappointment of not having the content I want, they will also try and vie for my time with content they think is similar to what I was looking for.

Yeah that sounds best, save unnecessary click/confirm but still acknowledge the query.
I doubt Netflix wants to show:
Search: A
AB (unavailable)
ABC (unavailable)
ABCD (unavailable)
So probably a gray/dark pattern…
