BUG: Searching for books in the store cannot handle a missing initial in the author's name

A search for "J. Packer" in my Library finds all the books I own by J. I. Packer:

But this does not work in the store:

I used that name just as an example since I own lots of books by him, not that anyone would ever call him "J Packer". But this is an issue for any authors with middle initials. In fact, this might be the general problem which is causing the problem I reported already with author Paul S Fiddes.

Perhaps this is an intermittent problem.

The following got me to Packer's page:

Packer

J Packer

J. Packer

J I Packer

>> Their 'library' is my pet peeve......I see the new set-up on the list-of-books page.

But it looks like you didn't put quotation marks around yours. I did.

Correct on the '' ''.

I assumed the quotation marks were used by you in the above sentence [+ not in the site], to delineate what you had typed on the site.

And I assumed you'd see by the screenshot that I actually did use them on the site. [;)] So we both made wrong assumptions. [:)]
