How to use ¨Use a custom search URL"

I have a large library of magic books.

I would like to use the Preferences>look & Feel>Book Details>Clicking on authors name should:>Use a custom search URL feature to search on http://geniimagazine.com/wiki/index.php?title= as I it is unlikely that the authors would appear in Amazon or Goodreads.
The question is, what is the tag to attach the authors name at the end of my custom search engine URL?

The tooltip for the field shows what should be used: {author}. So:

Code:
http://geniimagazine.com/wiki/index.php?title={author}
And, it probably allows any column or template to be used.
