I can't seem to figure out how to look for FI Jones or AA Jones or AI Jones etc.

My understanding from the manual was that [A-Z] searched only for capitals but in practice it seems to match either upper or lower case. I tested this by searching for [a-z][A-Z][a-z] on a library in the author field and almost all authors were displayed.

Any ideas would be of help. I prefer to have all my author's initials displayes as I. I. Name or First I. Name etc. It makes author management easier.
