Description

Currently searching My Books only performs a title search. This issue proposes adding a fork within our Search module so that searches can be fulfilled by either Solr or @gdamdam's full text search engine.

Open Library is able to come up with a list of (e.g. 1000) IDs of Archive.org items, is there a way to use the Archive.org FTS API which lets us restrict the search to a dynamic list of archive.org IDs?

Update:

@gdamdam suggests we may be about to "Exectue a FTS query as LUCENE and not using the FTS dsl api syntax, you can add !L at the beginning of a search query":
```
!L Margery AND (identifier:goody OR identifier:goodytwoshoes00newyiala)
```
