Yes, I understand that (actually, I've done that exact search before ... although I usually modify the search string to get rid of the R.R. altogether). I also get this all the time when there are multiple authors -- I usually have to delete the lesser known writer (who probably did most of the actual writing) and search only on the well known author to get results.
In my case, the search term in the Get Books dialog showed: author:"Jim Butcher" and I would get no Kobo results despite that being the exact spelling used by Kobo. Also, if I modify the search term and delete the "author:" specifier, I do get Kobo results for all Jim Butcher's novels.
