As an addendum to the note I just sent, it was the name Jacob on one line and Snider on the second line that brought up a small number of books. I am sure if I had just entered the surname without the given name, the number would be much higher. By using the advanced search, you ask it to search for both names in the same works to narrow it down somewhat. I then tried John, on line 1, and Riley on line 2, and this time came up with 152 works instead of the 1100+ on the name Riley alone. I really don't know how much more refined we could get it as it seems to search for publication date first and then the surname and the books that surname is found in.
