Also removing is_server_ready call from execute_query as in production
workflows search is done through \core_search\manager::search and
\core_search\manager::instance already checks is_server_ready. In
testing environment setUp functions should check that the server is
ready before performing other actions.
Ensures that Solr will return available results, even if there are many
misses when using check_access(), by asking Solr for more results if the
counter says there should be more.
Improves performance by ending processing as soon as the requested page
of results is processed. Remaining number of pages is an "estimate"
based on the total result count from Solr and how many items we have
rejected up to this point.
Introducing both APIs in moodle along with:
- search_box widget to add a tiny search box
- admin settings with setup steps helper
- cache for search results
- template for a search result
- php unit stuff
