The API version was missing srnamespace=120 (only searches main
namespace by default, not Item namespace) and srwhat=text (no idea what
the default here is tbh). This version works:
https://data.biblissima.fr/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srsearch=Jakob%20von%20Viraggio&srnamespace=120&srwhat=text

Cheers,
