@GM:
It is critical to hover a mouse over the various areas of each Tab in MCS so that the various ToolTips appear.
For simply asking "what books have their own author in their title", use an Intra-Book Query. You may choose either to execute this for "Selected Books" or "All Books" or "All Books in Another Library (Cross-Library)".
For asking "what books have any author that exists in any book in the current library in their title", use the Special Queries Tab. Of course, Special Queries are always for "All Books".
Note that Virtual Libraries can cause confusion (there is a ToolTip about that) since MCS does not 'see' or 'use' VLs at all, so when it returns the results of "All Books" to Calibre, any VL that was in play at the time of executing the query will show only the MCS results that also conform to the VL criteria. So, MCS gives you all of the results, but the VL then filters those results through the VL criteria and only shows you what is left.
