Search TWDA by deck author #38

Would be a nice upgrade. KRCG API allows it already, but this requires an endpoint for author name completion.

So, I've looked a bit into that, and that will be hard to tackle in an elegant way.

Players used so many nicknames and different formats, plus made so many typos in the TWDA file that I feel it would require fixing the original document first before even trying to do some decent searches above it.

Some names are combinations (crediting pairs of authors or playgroups) using many different character to separate them (-, &, simple comma, etc.) At least one name includes an e-mail address.

Even if we restrict the search to the player who played the deck, nicknames and typos are widespread.

So, close this for now, it requires some background work beforehand.
