Describe the feature/enhancement

It would be nice to include some additional enhancements to the Authors → Match All Authors. Some enhancements should include:

Being able to download missing author pictures only, all author's pictures, or skip pictures entirely
Being able to download missing author descriptions, all author's descriptions, or skip descriptions entirely

Having an interactive search could be cool too. So if it doesnt find the author it gives a bit of a fuzzy search like it does trying to match audiobooks. then you could select from a list of them or who fits best.

A fuzzy search would be very helpful.

As a short term workaround, can there just be a filter for Authors page with the empty author images only being displayed? Would make it easier to find them when updating them manually (versus scanning through the entire list).
