Description: If the solr search receives bad request, it throws a SearchException which gets converted to a 500 error in the webservices:

http://staging.gbif.org:8080/checklistbank-search-ws/search/?q=abies&rank=genus

The rank here is expected to be an integer (see CLB-199 for rank names as values)]]>

Comment: we could convert all SolrServerException to IllegalArgumentExceptions (instead of SearchException as we do now), but that might also be wrong cause I suspect solr exceptions also occur for solr server errors for example when the solr server is not available. We will need to understand the root exception behind the SolrServerException.
