IIRC since & is a splitter for the author field so copying it in search replace is problematic. You could use a custom column built from other columns that uses the literal author value and then use that as the source instead of the authors field.

Or you can just re-read the metadata from inside the book files instead of the file names (the bulk metadata edit dialog has an option for that)
