I am currently trying to make a auto-fill search box, so if you type in "tolk" it should show top ten authors that has tolk in their name
But the book search seems to only allow full names (between whitespaces) to be searched Is there a wildcard key one can use in the search? Like for example author:*tolk* Lets say a user wants to search for the author J.R.R Tolkien, now they might only remember that his name was tolk something. But using the author attribute like this returns no hits http://books.google.com/books?q=author:tolki What I'm asking for is if there exists a wild card so I can put in http://books.google.com/books?q=author:*tolki* and then receive ten hits of authors that has tolki somewhere in their name.
