Perhaps it would be better to treat this situation as its own special case - with its own dialog and resolution approach. Certainly I will hold off doing anything related to it until I get more time to think through some approaches. It may be that we can fit it into the existing search approach or that it requires something different. You would certainly need to have an equivalent of "ignore title, fuzzy author" so that you could catch where two variations of the same author each have a distinct set of books in your library that none of the existing algorithms would catch
If some algorithm can find them, then I can select the ones I want to change and do it with edit metadata. I don't see why it needs its own resolution approach.
