So I expand the full list and check all the boxes for the not-Jim-Butchers and hit the Exclude button and does it cut out all the wrong "hits"?

NO! It cuts them all! No results found.

Don't you just love completely broken database searches?
It's easy to fix that problem. You type in Jim Butcher in the sort box, get the results, you click on a book by Jim Butcher to bring up that book's enntry. Then you click on the name Jim Butcher and all you get are books by Jim Butcher. You can then pick the media type of eBooks to get rid of audiobooks in the results. If for some reason, language is an option, that means more then one language, so select English to further whittle down the results and go from there.
