1. How can I find author names without spaces between initials? Say I have an author named A. A. Alice, some author entries refer to A.A. Alice and others A. A. Alice, and I want to make things match up.

2. How can I find metadata with double spaces? I tried " " but it didn't show anything, and "~\s\s" but it had a lot of false positives.
