Improve normalizers, use less None; Add author search box.

It was getting difficult to remember which of the normalizers
use None and which don't. So let's try to be a little more consistent
and just use empty sets, etc, so the caller can rely on receiving a
set instead of having to check for None.

Also renamed search parameter authors->author to be more in line
with the singular form of extension.
