The library search input on / matches title and author name (case-insensitive substring) but not series. Typing a series name returns no results even when books in that series exist.

Source: internal/web/handler.go LibraryGet calls store.SearchBooks(q) (defined in internal/store/books.go), which JOINs only book_authors/authors. Compare store.AdminSearchBooks in internal/store/admin.go which already includes b.series LIKE ? — likely the same predicate should be added to SearchBooks.

Found while testing the htmx search migration on PR #14.
