This is because the '=' operator performs an exact match. Your query will find
only authors whose full name is 'Merriam'.
In order to find your article with the ID 1, try these queries:
getref :AU:="Merriam,Elisha P."
getref :AU:~Merriam
The second query performs a Unix regular expression match which will also
succeed because the string 'Merriam' is part of the string 'Merriam,Elisha P.'.
