#49310: Searching by plugin author appears to only search by username
----------------------------+-----------------------------
 Reporter:  johnbillion     |      Owner:  (none)
     Type:  defect (bug)    |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal          |  Milestone:  Awaiting Review
Component:  Plugins         |    Version:
 Severity:  normal          |   Keywords:
  Focuses:  administration  |
----------------------------+-----------------------------
 From the Plugins -> Add New screen, performing a search by `Author`
 instead of the default `Keyword` appears to only work when searching by a
 username (eg. johnbillion) and returns no results when searching by
 display name (eg. John Blackbourn). This makes the search useless when a
 plugin author's username is nothing like their actual name.
