Search system update.
- Put search on resque to alleviate the load issues.
The main reason is to push changes to production today is to improve system performance. Last week we changed the way the search indexed. This fixed many of the updating issues we were having with the new search but had the knock on effect of delaying processes in the system when the search was reindexing (ordering, inwards goods etc).
The solution now on beta has been to put the search indexer on another system (Resque) that will enable it to run in the background. In other words your jobs get priority
Other features that will go through with this update

- Stock now listed in ‘in stock’ order when you click the search button on the website.
- Quick search in the back office now sorting by number in stock
- Stop/warn staff if they are trying to check out a cart with 0 quantities.
- Added stubbing for Bookdata tests.
- Removed the category label background on the website.
