Alter option 3 to create the alert.

If you couldn't get your head around it then you should probably consider this out of scope for the time being until you're more comfortable with javascript. Your comment seems to suggest that in every case its user error but it would seem to me that it could just be that their search terms don't return any results, as expected. Personally I'd just keep the behaviour that Splunk already has, its fairly clear when no results are returned
