As a user I want to be able to search and browse for common aliases of legislation, such as POPIA #1623

Peachjam supports this through the AlternativeNames relationship.

What is required is for the Indigo ingestor to be able to fetch aliases from Indigo, and laws-africa/indigo#1909 in indigo.

@longhotsummer As I mentioned on the Slack thread https://zatech.slack.com/archives/C064L8BRV7H/p1700899820738399 it would be great to have this feature considering that in my experience most legislation is referenced using the acronyms such as POPI, BCEA, PAIA and etc

@shailen-naidoo this is now supported end-to-end, so the team will populate the common aliases and you'll be able to search for them on lawlibrary.org.za. For example, here's POPIA: https://lawlibrary.org.za/search/?q=popia

Wow, that is amazing! I tried breaking the feature as I assume that you would need to support the alias upon request. For example: PDA (Protected Disclosures Act) does not work so I assume that you would need to manually add that. I guess I can also contribute to the project and add aliases whenever it does not work or it cannot find it. Kind regards Shailen

We're still populating the aliases, and I've asked the team to start with your suggestions. If you have others, please do let us know.
