Good question. I'd like to know too. Because right now, all that comes to mind is using a regex to get the last name element somehow into the search process, but I don't know exactly how to do that. Otherwise, I thought maybe bulk seach/replace regexing the author LN element into a Tag or a new LN column, then using the tag or column template in the search box.

Edit: Search dialog (binoculars) allows menu choice for regex across the metadata - so that's closer.
