Subject: Check elasticsearch at point of use

* Instead of checking for the state of elasticsearch at startup, check
  the state at the moment the user requests a feature that depends on
  elasticsearch.
  This reduces the chances that the user is dropped onto an exception
  page when elasticsearch server goes down.
