Filtering by author is sensitive to the format of the author field #106

I am migrating from v20111211 to the current one, and previously this issue was not present, which indicates to me that it might be a regression.

The filter $_GET['author']='Sergey Goncharov'; used to include both the entries with 'Sergey Goncharov' as an author and 'Goncharov, Sergey'. The latter option is no longer covered. However, $_GET['author']='Goncharov, Sergey'; would cover this, but then only this option.

Thanks for the bug report.

There has been some work on this part.

Can you try with _author instead, $_GET['author']='Sergey Goncharov';?

(see Q_INNER_AUTHOR in code)

Sorry, maybe I was not clear enough. I am trying to use the following scenario from the documentation (which used to function): 

<?php $_GET['bib']='mybib.bib'; 
$_GET['author']='Martin Monperrus'; 
include( 'bibtexbrowser.php' ); ?>

And that brings up the issue I've described. Are you implying that there is something I should use instead of $_GET['author']='Martin Monperrus'; now?

monperrus commented 4 years ago

yes, please try, it may fix your usage.

I've tried some variations of $_GET['author']='Sergey Goncharov'; (including $_GET['_author']='Sergey Goncharov'; -- this just shows the whole list of publications, not only mine). I also tried to form a direct url-request. No, it did not help. Maybe there is a way to show the whole generated database e.g. as XML? That would help in debugging quite a bit.
