Description: The current global search uses drupal which exposes the URL /node/search?keys=myquery

This unfortunately strongly clashes with the existing /node/{uuid} urls from the java portal and it would be best to pick a new url for the drupal search.

[~cvizitiu], can we rather expose a url like portaldev.gbif.org/search?q=myquery ?

We could also do so purely in varnish and rewrite that to the current drupal URL. But if we could do so in drupal already that would keep our rewrite mess less nasty]]>

Apparently the search is also accessible via http://staging.gbif.org/search/node?keys=berlin which can be mapped.
This should work with varnish, not critical anymore!
