Search posts by author

Hi all

I have a search form query… I want to be able to let my users search for posts by any particular author.

I have many authors listing posts and users have requested to be able to use the search field to find posts by their chosen author.

I’m looking to find a php code along the lines of:

$query .= “($wpdb->users.user_nicename LIKE ‘{$n}{$term}{$n}’)”

The above code does not return any results. Does anyone have a solution?

Thanks
