Having typed in Akutagawa Ryūnosuke, aside from several other Japanese writers, Robert Ruark showed up.

Next step in the process would be to be able to enter multiple authors for even further refinement of their suggestions.

Just typed in "Donald Trump" and some other suggestions were Adolph Hitler and Vladimir Putin, along with Germaine Greer, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton!!!
