If you search for a book you can never be sure that you do not have the book if for example the author name is not spellt correctly. Checking in the correct sub-folder you can be sure that you do not have a book.
I'm sorry, but I simply disagree that categorization is superior to search for finding books. As for you specific example just sort the calibre book list on author and scroll down it to roughly where you expect the author to be.
