Author name touchstoner should use the same URL generation rule as the Author Name field

If I enter Neil Gaiman as a touchstone, it should use the same conversion routine to come up with /author/gaimanneil as is used for generating the URL from the Author Name field on a book record.

It looks like it just does a search (same as the "Authors" search in the Search tab) and picks the first result. That list could be used for the (others) link.

Examples where the current system doesn't work well:
Neil Gaiman -> /author/gaimanneilneilgaiman Neil ?Neil Gaiman Gaiman
Mark Twain -> /author/maktwain (canonical name Mark Twain on .nl site)
Terry Pratchett -> doesn't work (not sure how it manages that), and it doesn't even present an (others) link to pick one of the many matches that the search page comes up with

Testing again in case the new search system has affected the behavior...
Neil Gaiman -> http://www.librarything.com/author/gaimanneilneilgaiman
Mark Twain -> http://www.librarything.com/author/maktwain
Nope, same results.

Is the touchstoner now using an obsolete index, or will this index continue to be updated for the author combination search?

I have found author touchstones so unreliable in general that I've given up on using them altogether.

A. E. Waite --> fails. It's the first one I tried, because I'm reading a book by that author at the moment.
Arthur Edward Waite --> also fails.

There are 10 books by that author in my catalog alone, with both the initials and full name represented.

For reference, here's what it looks like when you do [[Neil Gaiman]]:
