Comment (by adiant):

 Not sure whether to create a new ticket for this, but I'll start here:

 I suspect a little bit of quiet thought would get most people agreeing
 with me that a Search by Author "must" be done against Display Name, not
 "real name".  I'm not even sure how someone searching for a plugin would
 even know the "real name" if it is different than Display Name.
