I would think the URL query/response is the big time consumer, not the code that does the comparisons. Am I wrong?

I've taken another look just now and I think you are correct, that it does need changing. Originally (many years ago) the FF plugin would support searching for both title and author as a combination, and hence the results would reflect that.
However at some point FF removed the ability to do a title+author search, and now the plugin just searches for title.
Which as you found means if the author names their book with a really common name then there is a high likelihood of not getting a match. Which is clearly wrong.
New release coming soon...
