Searching for an author gave me a result with more than one authors :not a bug:

Searching for Anu gave me results of mangas made by so many more authors that are not Anu.

Intentional. Just like with titles, the search queries for author and artist don't look for the exact match, but for

*anu*

.

When we finally get around to implementing author pages the problem should be resolved anyway.

Oh that makes so much more sense now. Alright then.

@Teasday Can't you temp fix it by making author queries being exact name ONLY WHEN clicking from an author's name from a manga page, while being redirected to the search query.

This will allow users to still search for partial author name when using the search button.
Clicking on an author name will change partial in the author field to exact name.
