Moved from https://savannah.cern.ch/task/index.php?14916 - was called,
'author:"brodsky, bernard"'.

If someone specifies author search like this:
author:"brodsky, bernard"
it seems clear that they are asking for a person named bernard brodsky
However, there is no such person. So Invenio decides to display results
for Brodsky and Bernard, yielding 3 results.
This is helpful in some cases, but in most cases, I think it is simply
confusing.
A better way would be to say "0 results" and show nothing, but to say
"3 results found for Author:"brodsky" and author:"bernard" and make that
clickable, just like the normal no results pages.
Showing results when none are found is confusing, especially if one is not
looking carefully at the results page to see the warning (or understand
what it means)
