Doing an author search for "box" (http://www.librarything.com/search.php?search=box&searchtype=authors) shows the following results:

Author search: "box"
C. J. Box
Also contains ""box""
Results may include ratty data entered in individual member's libraries.
Don Box
George E. P. Box
Ben Box


For those first three results in the Also Contains section, I don't see anything ratty about their data. They all have works assigned, no other names combined in, nothing at all obvious.

This no longer happens when I search for box. Can you come up with another example that still does this?

If it doesn't do the Also Contains line, then the problem will have gone away. I'm not seeing it any more.

I'm sure enough to close this bug.
