Hi!

I'm puzzled with the following Invenio 1.1 behaviour, that I have in my
test installation but also in CERN production site.  When I search for
«Last name, First name» (with comma), search is ok.  Searching «First
name Last name» is fine also.  But «Last name First Name» (without
comma) gives zero results.  For example:

  http://cds.cern.ch/search?p=simko%2C+tibor&f=author (10 records)
  http://cds.cern.ch/search?p=tibor+simko&f=author (10 records)
  http://cds.cern.ch/search?p=simko+tibor&f=author (no match, no
  suggestion)

And, curiously,

  http://cds.cern.ch/search?p=tibor%2C+simko&f=author (direct order but
  with comma: no results, but automatically suggests removing the comma,
  11 records)

I may add that it is also different if one uses

author:'tibor simko'

and friends, ie. putting the field to search in the query instead of the
f parameter. Seems in line with my earlier report that adv. search not
always gives what simple search does.

We think that this behaviour is, at least, questionable.

Is this a intended behaviour?  What is the reasoning behind it?

My feeling is that adv. search is used here and that this is an area
that wasn't updated like the simple search. As suggested earlier
probably it would be better to use adv. search as an input for simple
search so one can click author and add the term and end up with author:term?
