How to get search to include author names?
Simple question really, how do I get search to search author names? When I run a search which includes an author’s name I get no results, it would be nice to have search include authors. Any ideas?

Use the built-in author listings perhaps?

Re: How to get search to include author names?
I could do that, but I really want keyword searching to encompass author names. I want a user to simply be able to type into the search field “John Doe” and the search to pull out all articles that have him either mentioned in the article text or has his name in the article by line. I appreciate that not all meta data associated with an article is useful to search, but I would have thought the author’s name along with title and body are the key fields to an article.
