BUG ?: Basic search fails

When I encounter a footnote citing an author, I do a basic search in the resource for the author's name in order to determine to which book reference is made.  In reading

Prosic, Tamara. Development and Symbolism of Passover. London; New York: T&T Clark, 2004.

I encountered a footnote citing Gaster (Theodor, presumably) and ran a search but came up dry.  Usually I run my searches with all lower case, but, when I found nothing, I changed to normal upper case for the first letter of the name and still found nothing.  Using the 4.2a SR-1 release downloaded today.  This is possibly an indexing problem since indexing is still in progress.  Will report when concluded.

    If indexing is still in progress then you can't rely on the search results since that book might still be in the queue for indexing. Also possible is that the author of that book missed including the Gastor book in her bibliography.
