Description

If we run a query like http://server:port/v1/widgets?debug_label=SomeText, it returns a json like the one attached (widgets.json, see also the corresponding dialog.json, those come from the "welcome" firstboot client) . So at first sight it looks like the query worked. But In fact, it is the same as querying "http://server:port/v1/widgets" without any arguments. We can observe the same with other elements, that are not "query-able" or non-existant (eg "widgets?class=YQWizardButton" or "widgets?notexist=nope").
It would make more sense to have a "widget-not-found" error in such cases.

Also, being able to query those debug_labels to identify pages could be very useful, as there is no (?) other unique way to identify pages/modules/clients otherwise, and those seem to be present on each of them.
