#732 Node Search via API for known node returns invalid or empty JSON

A few things going on here ... swagger submitting "false" query
params which intefered with truth testing by existence, and also the
Node search not using {results => {}} format response for template,
and also that response then containing DBIC objects which cannot be
translated to JSON without running HRI first.
