Note that the current implementation returns a representation of each work result that best
matches the search query. Specifically, the titles and cover image are selected from the
expression/manifestation that best matches the search query, within the constraints of some predefined
preference rules. The most important one being that a physical book is preferred over an e-book or
audiobook to represent the work. In practice, this implementation means that the two queries
“Til fyret” and “To the lighthouse” will return the same work by Virginia Woolf, but
represented with a Norwegian and English title and cover image, respectively. An alternative
implementation could instead return a flat list of all titles and cover images and let the API client
decide which to use, but the client would then have no hints on which title and cover image the user is
most likely to recognize.

The PLAS sortings
plas.titles.asc, plas.titles.desc are not implemented yet.
This is indicated in the GetSearchConfiguration response.
