A while back I had set up a Gemini frontend for a mirror of The Anarchist Library[1]. It lacked a few key features such as the ability to enter search queries. I lost the motivation to work on it for quite a while after I was disappointed with how it had turned out.

Over the last week or so I've spent about two dozen hours rebuilding the thing from the ground up to be more performant and feature-rich. The capsule now supports search queries that are evaluated against document metadata (title, notes, etc.), authors, and topics.

There are still a few wrinkles to iron out, such as the /topics pages not normalizing topic names. If you try out that feature you'll see stuff like 'mutual aid' and 'Mutual Aid!' listed as separate topics unfortunately. I'm thinking about how to solve that.

As a courtesy to the bots, I've added a permanent redirect from `/file/abc.gmi` to `/document/abc`.

I'm excited to keep working on this. Any suggestions are welcome.
