    Searches for packages satisfying a given search criteria.

    This action accepts solr search query parameters (details below), and
    returns a dictionary of results, including dictized datasets that match
    the search criteria, a search count and also facet information.

    **Solr Parameters:**

    For more in depth treatment of each paramter, please read the `Solr
    Documentation <http://wiki.apache.org/solr/CommonQueryParameters>`_.

    This action accepts a *subset* of solr's search query parameters:

    :param q: the solr query.  Optional.  Default: `"*:*"`
    :type q: string
    :param fq: any filter queries to apply.  Note: `+site_id:{ckan_site_id}`
        is added to this string prior to the query being executed.
    :type fq: string
    :param rows: the number of matching rows to return.
    :type rows: int
    :param sort: sorting of the search results.  Optional.  Default:
        "score desc, name asc".  As per the solr documentation, this is a
        comma-separated string of field names and sort-orderings.
    :type sort: string
    :param start: the offset in the complete result for where the set of
        returned datasets should begin.
    :type start: int
    :param qf: the dismax query fields to search within, including boosts.  See
        the `Solr Dismax Documentation
        <http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DisMaxQParserPlugin#qf_.28Query_Fields.29>`_
        for further details.
    :type qf: string
    :param facet: whether to enable faceted results.  Default: "true".
    :type facet: string
    :param facet.mincount: the minimum counts for facet fields should be
        included in the results.
    :type facet.mincount: int
    :param facet.limit: the maximum number of constraint counts that should be
        returned for the facet fields. A negative value means unlimited
    :type facet.limit: int
    :param facet.field: the fields to facet upon.  Default empty.  If empty,
        then the returned facet information is empty.
    :type facet.field: list of strings

    **Results:**

    The result of this action is a dict with the following keys:

    :rtype: A dictionary with the following keys
    :param count: the number of results found.  Note, this is the total number
        of results found, not the total number of results returned (which is
        affected by limit and row parameters used in the input).
    :type count: int
    :param results: ordered list of datasets matching the query, where the
        ordering defined by the sort parameter used in the query.
    :type results: list of dictized datasets.
    :param facets: DEPRECATED.  Aggregated information about facet counts.
    :type facets: DEPRECATED dict
    :param search_facets: aggregated information about facet counts.  The outer
        dict is keyed by the facet field name (as used in the search query).
        Each entry of the outer dict is itself a dict, with a "title" key, and
        an "items" key.  The "items" key's value is a list of dicts, each with
        "count", "display_name" and "name" entries.  The display_name is a
        form of the name that can be used in titles.
    :type search_facets: nested dict of dicts.

    An example result: ::

     {'count': 2,
      'results': [ { <snip> }, { <snip> }],
      'search_facets': {u'tags': {'items': [{'count': 1,
                                             'display_name': u'tolstoy',
                                             'name': u'tolstoy'},
                                            {'count': 2,
                                             'display_name': u'russian',
                                             'name': u'russian'}

                       }
     }

    **Limitations:**

    The full solr query language is not exposed, including.

    fl
        The parameter that controls which fields are returned in the solr
        query cannot be changed.  CKAN always returns the matched datasets as
        dictionary objects.

    If ``{field}`` is ``"hash"``, then an attempt is made to match the
    `{term}` as a *prefix* of the ``Resource.hash`` field.

    If ``{field}`` is an extra field, then an attempt is made to match against
    the extra fields stored against the Resource.

    Note: The search is limited to search against extra fields declared in
    the config setting ``ckan.extra_resource_fields``.

    Note: Due to a Resource's extra fields being stored as a json blob, the
    match is made against the json string representation.  As such, false
    positives may occur:

    If the search criteria is: ::

        query = "field1:term1"

    Then a json blob with the string representation of: ::

        {"field1": "foo", "field2": "term1"}

    will match the search criteria!  This is a known short-coming of this
    approach.

    All matches are made ignoring case; and apart from the ``"hash"`` field,
    a term matches if it is a substring of the field's value.

    Finally, when specifying more than one search criteria, the criteria are
    AND-ed together.

    The ``order`` parameter is used to control the ordering of the results.
    Currently only ordering one field is available, and in ascending order
    only.

    The ``fields`` parameter is deprecated as it is not compatible with calling
    this action with a GET request to the action API.

    The context may contain a flag, `search_query`, which if True will make
    this action behave as if being used by the internal search api.  ie - the
    results will not be dictized, and SearchErrors are thrown for bad search
    queries (rather than ValidationErrors).

    :param query: The search criteria.  See above for description.
    :type query: string or list of strings of the form "{field}:{term1}"
    :param fields: Deprecated
    :type fields: dict of fields to search terms.
