Auto-search for author
I know this is a bad time for having bright ideas for new features, what with Calibre 3 in the pipeline, but I was thinking it would be really cool to have a "search" option on the right-click menu so you could right-click an author's name to take you to all the author's books (i.e. right click X > "search", and get the effect of typing authors:"=X" into the search field). And of course the same for other columns...

Wow, brilliant. Thank you, I never noticed that... (like so many other things I wanted, that Kovid had already thought of before I asked).
