Breaking change in /searchResults and /organizations/find endpoints

Endpoints directly affected:

• GET /searchResults
• GET /organizations/find

What will change?

When the /searchResults and /organizations/find endpoints return an organization with no details, the organization details field will return an empty object {} instead of an empty string "".

Why?

This change will make endpoint responses more consistent by forcing the returned organization details field to always be an object.

The responses will be more consistent with results that do have organization details, which currently have the following format:

{
    "org_address": "organization's address"
}

Who is affected?

Any integration with functionality built on top of the previous behavior might need to alter their code.
