Drupal 6 searching for "Authoring information"

I have been looking for a solution to this particular question and I haven't found a way to do it (if there is one).

I have content that is stored in a basic pag开发者_开发问答e content type. This content type has some authoring information: author and date.

If I do a search on 'Author Name' for example, there are no search results.

Any way to enable the search to look for these kind of information as well?

Thank you.

You can use the Views module to create a view and expose the filter. For instance, create a view and add a filter of Node: user and expose that filter so that people can search based on the user name. The same can be done for the posting date.

For more on Views, take a look at its documentation. Also these tutorials may be helpful:
