  • Close the manage dialog and return to the Advanced Find Metadata Variations dialog. Now in the save/restore dropdown menu choose the imported setting (called "similar authors ignore initials").
  • Press restore button to apply the setting.
  • Press the search button.

The setting above uses template language to remove author initials before proceeding with similar author match. You can replace the similar match with whatever you want e.g. identical
tnx a lot, I completely forgot about the advanced mode...actually used it once before
