We need to make several of the searches significantly more sophisticated to match the behavior that users are going to expect.

- For authors:
- "W. Johnson" needs to match "Walter Johnson", "Walter A. Johnson", etc.
- "W. Johnson, A. Smith" needs to match "W. Johnson, A. Smith, J. Doe" and *not* "W. Johnson, J. Doe" or "A. Smith, J. Doe"
- For years:
- Javascript validation in the advanced search page: don't let the user just have an end-year, either start alone or both.
- For pages:
- "130" should match "128-130" or "130-135"
- "135" should match "130-5"
