My experience is that you'd need to enter the author, in Calibre, as "Smith, John & Smith, Nancy". That will definitely store the two authors separately and will subsequently match searches by either name.
If you enter an author of that form, and then edit the metadata for a book and look at the "author" drop-down, you'll find that it lists "Smith, John" and "Smith, Nancy" as separate authors. If, on the other hand, you enter "Smith, John & Nancy", the drop-down will list "Smith, John", but then simply "Nancy".
