Improvement to result display in smart search

Results are truncated to a number of characters from the begining, so unless your query falls there, you won't see it in the results view, which may confuse the user who did the search.

This improves the truncation so that characters around the search query are shown. If it was the last word in the article, then chosen amount of characters before it will be shown (or after if it was at the begining), otherwise it aims for the search query to be in the middle of excerpt for optimal understanding.

If the match was not in the body of the description, then the first XXX characters will be shown like before.

Maybe such function would be useful to add to JHtml.string?
Update default_result.php
Update error.php

<?php if ((!$statusFixed) && ($this->countModules('status'))) : ?>
needs to be changed by
<?php if ((!$statusFixed) && ($this->getInstance()->countModules('status'))) :?>

$this is, at that point, instantiated to JDocumentError which has not countModules method throwing an error.
Update search.php

Reverted to first solution

The last solution integrating userState introduced a new issue where the ordering field was hold even when not passed in. So the userState is dropped again and the ordering field is evaluated on every page load.
Fixed typo

Replaced the expected REQUEST variables for filter order and filter order direction by commonly used variable names.
