I'm probably missing something obvious here, but having looked all
through http://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/restful_api , I can't see any
way to use the api to search for an author or book title by name,
rather then by id. Is there something I've overlooked?

What I'm hoping to do is write an open library plugin for gcstar
(http://www.gcstar.org/), which is an open-source collection manager.
To be able to do this I'd need to be able to do a text search on both
author and book title, and get a list of matching results with
corresponding ids in return. I'm hoping this is currently possible!

Kind Regards,
Nyall Dawson
