Apachesolr module as an api

I just want to submit my experience using the apachesolr module on Drupal 5. Due to very specific requirements, I wanted to use the apachesolr module as an API module, so just as an interface module for Solr. What's more, even the search core module is not enabled. Still this worked out quite well. One very small patch was needed in the apachesolr.info file: commenting the dependencies = search line.

Perhaps you could take this into account when further developing the module, because it is also applicable to the D6 branch dependencies [] = search. The only direct issue I see is in the apachesolr_failure() : when the fallback strategy on failure is set on 'show_drupal_results', the user is redirected to drupal_goto('search/node/' . drupal_urlencode($querystring));
