Removing fulltext searching makes it super fail now.
Not sure why/how you think these changes make it better.

Not sure if pulling in modules on the fly is really a good idea either.
It may be better to test for the module, and not provide the aur_json
interface if it doesn't exist.

As to the query string being wrong..That regression crept in as a
result of the request for info by package name as well as info by
package id.
It would have been nice to have people actually testing it.. *sigh*
