The dependency

<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-search-orm</artifactId>
<optional>true</optional>
</dependency

in the OGM Infinispan module should not be optional since the InfinispanDatastoreProvider exposes the Search-based query parser implementation. So for ease of use the dependency to Search should be pulled in by default. Users who actually use another parser implemention could still exclude the dependency if they prefer.
