Describe the feature you'd like

We want to be able to reuse the same book for several projects in our shelves.
When editing a shelf to add an existing book in it, it's tricky to find the right book because our list is so long.
It would be great to have a search bar when editing the shelf to allow for a Book search

Search books

Describe the benefits this feature would bring to BookStack users

This will make finding books to add to a shelf a lot easier

Thanks for the request @ssoulaimana.

A simple local book-search has been added as part of #3591 and will be part of the next feature release.
