Upgrade StorageAdvanced search by author/creator surname and initial
It would be extremely helpful if the creator search facility within zotero advanced search could be improved.
Currently, if I search for - creator CONTAINS 'stevens', I also get items written by 'stevenson'. If I search for - creator IS 'stevens' I get nothing, presumably because it requires matching initials and punctuation also. If I search for - creator CONTAINS 'A. Stevens', I miss out on 'A.B. Stevens', 'Alex Stevens', etc.
Hence it would be helpful to have the option to search - surname IS ......, AND first name/initials CONTAINS ..........
