Our Innopac catalog suggests turning the search around (giving a
clickable link), but only if there are no hits for the name in direct
order. For the author search "mark twain", unfortunately, there
are such hits as: Mark Twain Memorial Association. The catalog isn't
clairvoyant enough to guess whether the user wanted the person or the
corporate name, at least not how we have the author search configured.
