Yes, well, in the case of authors, you'd have to compensate and consider just the last (or first) name a complete match if given only one word as a search term...
Like I wrote, I was thinking as I typed, and thus, the idea obviously would need refinement. For example, if there was a query for "smith son", should Smithsonian be rated higher or lower than a book written by "Smith and sons"?
