Report from Heath O'Connell:
> If we look at:

> AUTHOR = Taylor, Wendy Jane;
> AUTHOR = Tiller, Britta Ulrike;
> AUTHOR = Titov, Maxim;
> AUTHOR = Tokmenin, Valeriy V.; *
> on the paper and in the SPIRES record, so there
> is no author Thomas (although there are authors
> with Thomas as a first or middle name).
>
> On INSPIRE record, though, this paper:

> shows up from a search
> find author thomas and williams

> author:thomas author:williams

It is arguable whether this is the correct behavior, and we should argue
it. However, I suspect that the answer is, "no". Probably searches that
translate to the form "author:foo" should not match against "foo bar". I
haven't looked at the code to think through whether the right fix is in
token generation or search string expansion.
Tibor, comments?
