Filter ZIMs by humanid & aliases

[juuz0]

Currently, if I visit: http://library.kiwix.org/catalog/search?name=archlinux_en_all_nopic_2022-05 I get no books. The name is not actually the filename so to get the desired book I need to visit: http://library.kiwix.org/catalog/search?name=archlinux_en_all and then search through the X number of books with same name that it gives. Hardly flexible. This is needed in /widget for now but may be needed in something else later on. Apologies if this already exists, I couldn't find but please guide if it does exist. :) If it doesn't, I propose we add a new filter book for this filename. http://library.kiwix.org/catalog/search?book=archlinux_en_all_nopic_2022-05 when filename is archlinux_en_all_nopic_2022-05

It should not be filename, but zim metada « Name ». https://library.kiwix.org/raw/gentoo_en_all_maxi_2021-03/meta/Name

@kelson42 Filtering by name already exists, see: https://library.kiwix.org/?name=gentoo_en_all

But this gives two books (same ZIM Meta name), I don't know how this will help in exactly getting the specific book. Filename looks more exact to me.

We are not interested by the filename, because this potentially change each month… we want to have a list of of zim stable over time. Let me think over night.

@juuz0 Maybe the solution is that the feature you have built can work with aliases (basically filename without the date)?

Sounds good to me, will also not to be duplicate.
