It'd be helpful to search Baum and get a selection page with all people with Baum somewhere in their name.
Well the search itself is pretty advance stuff but it needs some tuning (you can already do google-like searches, for example if you want a book in french you can use language:fr, you can use double quotes for exact matches etc...).

I guess you're talking about the process of adding a book right ? In this case it's not a real search, just a LIKE query on the sql, but it's an autocomplete form. You don't need to write everything, just type in Baum or Frank and it'll pop up with a list of names, just click on the right one and it'll be OK. It's the same thing when you edit the book with the "types", an autocomplete form.
