Site settings choosing search type problem

[Robert Lyon]

If I change my site setting search option from internal to elasticsearch when elasticsearch is not installed correctly I get a warning message about this -which is all good - but if I then hit save again it says saved ok.

The problem is - the check on the search only triggers if I'm changing from one type to another rather than checking on the search type when saving the page no matter what.

It would be better to test every time the site settings is saved just in case the search server has gone away for some reason - as it will allow a sysadmin to see the message here even if they are not knowing the search server is unreachable.
