TASK DESCRIPTION Search on the Wikia website appears to work fine

http://www.wikia.com/Special:Search?search=foo&fulltext=Search http://www.wikia.com/Special:Search?search=Seuss&fulltext=Search

But errors result from calling the api, search on text or title

http://www.wikia.com/api.php?format=jsonfm&action=query&generator=se... http://www.wikia.com/api.php?format=jsonfm&action=query&generator=se...

But a near match search does appear to be working.

http://www.wikia.com/api.php?format=jsonfm&action=query&generator=se...

but not returning results which do appear on the search page.

http://www.wikia.com/api.php?format=jsonfm&action=query&generator=se...

This is causing a test error in site_tests.SiteUserTestCase.testSearch

``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "./tests/site_tests.py", line 887, in testSearch se = list(mysite.search("wiki", total=100)) File "./pywikibot/data/api.py", line 1452, in __iter__ self.data = self.request.submit() File "./pywikibot/data/api.py", line 1071, in submit raise APIError(code, info, **result["error"]) pywikibot.data.api.APIError: gsrsearch-text-disabled: text search is disabled ```

The simplest fix for the test suite is to catch and detect 'gsrsearch-text-disabled' - when the API returns that error, use unittest.SkipTest to skip the test without causing a test failure.

Longer term pywikibot needs to detect that search is disabled, like we detect whether upload is enabled in APISite.is_uploaddisabled.
