e.g. Arthur Charles Clark was buried 10 screens down - is it possible to manually adjust the settings to limit A.Bronte and A.Brown clashing but pick up Arthur C. Clark and Arthur Charles Clark ??

Now that I've had a chance to get back to this plugin there was one thing that stood out for me on this. A.Bronte and A.Brown should *not* have been appearing together. I figured out why they are and will fix it. Its to do with the permutations of flipping author names, and means that A.Bronte and A.Brown both end up in a group with a permutation of "B A" caused by flipping the first/surname around and taking the first "initial". This change should reduce a lot of false positives from the fuzzy search, both for the normal Find Book Duplicates and the new Find Metadata Variations screens.
I have also added the soundex spinbox into the Find Metadata Variations screen to give you granularity on that.
Thanks for the feedback.
