Is there a way to do a search that will look only for Authors without a comma? I am changing my library so that authors and author_sort are LN, FN, but there are a number of entries that are still FN LN, and going through it manually is tedious to say the least. I would like to view only authors that do not have the comma so I can change them all with the search/replace function. I tried the search, and added , to the Any of these unwanted words field, but it looks in all metadata fields, and I want to search only authors
Thanks.
