You could ask Kovid if that would be a reasonable change to make, but for the moment there is no way.

You could try opening a command prompt and typing

Code:

calibredb list -s 'authors:"=J. K. Rowling" '

This would actually be the fastest way I could think of checking an author.

You could even put it into a batch file, say, foo.bat, like such:

Code:

@echo off
calibredb list -s 'authors:"=%*"'

then use Ctrl+R to get a run prompt and

Code:

foo.bat J. K. Rowling

to get all the books you have by J. K. Rowling.
