1- Indication of search is only local:

As part of the Touch Navigation Update project that is ongoing, scopes will be treated as apps; therefore, the search function won't be global. Each scope will have it's own search history and results will be displayed as it follows:

a. Scopes with only local content will only display locally stored results (eg. Apps/Catalogue scope)
b. Scopes with online and local content will display both locally stored and external results (eg. Music scope)
c. Scopes with only online content will display external results (eg. News scope)
*Grouping search results by category (eg: ubuntu store, local, web...) will be taken into consideration when designing Scope filters.
** The serch function cannot be 'set to search locally' or 'set to search globally' therefore there's not need for indicating this at a UI level.

2. Offline states:

Latest spec covers offline use case (https://sites.google.com/a/canonical.com/unity8dash/toolkit/10-content-loading). Also, there's an ongoing project to update the scope toolkit and this will be consider.
