Cannot find library by author name, other effects are minimal afaik.

as per library manifest docs
author - name/nickname of the authors and their email addresses (not mandatory) separated by comma (,)

This yields some strange issues in the IDE, causing searching by author name to not work reliably, eg. empty search results.
Sometimes only one name is shown, sometimes both, searches for author usually return no results, and can change even in real time..

I have since removed myself from authors to make sure ppl can find it by tzapu since searching by library name is not sorted by relevance and its a mess.

Thanks @tablatronix. The search is now handled by Arduino CLI, so the change would need to be made in that codebase. Since I think it will be easier to understand when worded in the context of Arduino CLI rather than the Arduino IDE-specific context of this issue, I have resubmitted your issue here: arduino/arduino-cli#1894

If you end up with additional information to share, feel free to comment in the other thread.
