Apparently this search no longer works for them.

Now I am wondering myself because I have had to literally tag these one named authors to locate them, but how would I be able to search for a single named author. Using plugins to find authors with no comma doesn't work, finding authors with no spaces doesn't work.

Even Chat GPT cant give me a correct search.
Quality check plugin has it all down pat.
Once found
It has a FIX: to flip those selected
