Owner requests: separate results for poets/writers' names and for content, pagination for content, and filtering by one or several authors with the Urdu keyboard.

Result groups (/search)

شعرا و ادبا: poets and writers whose name or pen name has every word (Urdu-normalised, so ي/ی, ك/ک and diacritics do not matter). Each shows years, the number of works and a link to search only their works. Shown on page 1.
کتابیں اور ابواب: books and chapters by title, with their poet (e.g. "بانگ درا" finds Iqbal's book).
کلام: the content results as before (highlighted matches with their couplet or paragraph).

Pagination: numbered pages (first, last, two either side of the current page, gaps shown as …) with previous/next, and "نتائج ۴۱–۶۰ از ۸۱۱۶".

Author filter

Chips for the authors the results come from, with counts (e.g. مرزا غالب ۱۹۲). Ticking one or several narrows the results immediately; selected authors stay first. More than 12 fold under "مزید".
A name box for any other poet or writer, with suggestions as you type. It has its own Urdu keyboard and اب (Roman-to-Urdu) buttons; "mir" gives میر and suggests میر تقی میر.
The keyboard and Roman typing now work on any input marked data-urdu, not only the search box.
Works without JavaScript: the filter is a plain form (repeated poet params).

API: poet=1,2 (several); authors (who the results come from, with counts); poets and books on page 1 (api/src/search.ts).

Tested

npm test: 26 pass (names by pen name, books by title, Arabic letter variants, nothing for nonsense).
Headless Chrome:
- "غالب" shows the poets and content groups;
- "دل" has 8,116 results on 406 numbered pages, and page ۳ shows ۴۱–۶۰;
- ticking Ghalib narrows to 192;
- Roman "mir" then picking میر تقی میر gives Ghalib + Mir (608);
- the on-screen keyboard types "داغ" into the name box (suggests داغ دہلوی) without touching the search box.

Independent of #48 and #49.
