Description

Currently if the elasticsearch-service is down, the search only shows that. No results are returned (This is as i would expect it). In such a case, it is not possible to execute a search and get results. Maybe we should just return the searchresults which would be returned by the nextcloud-default-search, and a warning of some sort.

Research direction

Start by tracing the search path used when the elasticsearch-service is unavailable and how nextcloud-default-search can be invoked. Determine how fallback results and a warning should be exposed, then add coverage for the unavailable-provider case and verify normal provider behavior remains unchanged.
