I found the answer, I needed to wrap the loop 

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

/* Content here */

<?php endwhile; else : ?>
    <p><?php _e( 'Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.' ); ?></p>
<?php endif; ?>

Around all of my dynamic content (I think thats the correct term).

Hey Colin,

One thing to keep in mind is if your using _e to translate it is important to add a second paramater with the language domain. It could be the name of the plugin or theme.

<p><?php _e( 'Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.', 'your_language_name' ); ?></p>
