Queen Mary site and course search — SearchStax Solr tenancy

Every page on qmul.ac.uk, including the undergraduate course finder, queries a hosted Apache Solr index on SearchStax under Queen Mary's own account 29847 and index qmu-1736. The endpoint returns 401 unauthenticated and 200 with the token Queen Mary publishes in its own page source; the query returns the university's course, news and page corpus with a Queen Mary relevance model (boost fields coursetitle_t, deptname_t, sectionType "courses"). It is recorded as a tenancy: the index and the content are Queen Mary's, the search API is SearchStax's. The credential visible in Queen Mary's page source is deliberately not reproduced in this repo.
