Missing Period Issue

For example, Jo Nesbo may appear as a 'J', Michael Connelly, as an 'M' and Bernard Cornwell, as a 'B'.

As a result, I have sometimes obtained a book only to find, on trying the "Add Books", that I already have it in the library!!

Thus, I need to check the sorted-author list twice. Under the J's and under the N's when seatching for Jo Nesbo, say.

Can this be improved? Or, am I missing something?
Am using 64-bit Calibre 4.9.1
A common problem I find is when some author names have or are missing a period after their middle initial the search only turns up some of their books.

It would be helpful to allow the search to allow for this problem.
