So my question is, is there a search in calibre or plugin that searches for similar author names. I want to start standardizing some messes when I was a noob using calibre.

Thanks for the help.
Attached is an example of how to use the MCS plug-in to find metadata variations in Calibre in general, and for Authors in particular.
