The search is unanchored, right? I was thinking along the lines of this being a similar case to the palindrome issue we discussed some time ago, because in the general case, you cannot know how many dots there are in an authors' name. Clearly, I was thinking too complicated- I thought about matching the non-dot parts as groups and using backreferences...
