assistant_search 6.x-1.0-beta5

This is the Solace API 6.x-1.0-beta5 major API changes following release. Please update both modules or none of them.

This release benefits from the Solace API changes. UI was totally revamped. The new 'Quick search' feature can be used doing a simple search.

The module is now able to detect if 'apachesolr_search' legacy module is enabled and configured to be the default engine. If not, Solace Search will then alter the Search module search box in order to use it directly (if enabled). It remains capable of working without the search module.

Results are now displayed directly from Apache SolR raw results, no more node_load() at display time, like the legacy 'apachesolr_search' module does. This means a lot for performances.
