Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the linked inessential feed and an Atom feed containing per-post dc:creator tags, then trace where feed search currently matches post content. Done means searching an author name returns posts associated with that author, including authors represented by dc:creator.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

search

Some feeds are a combination from many authors. I want to be able to filter a feed to a specific author. I expected search to work, but this only applies to the content of the post, not the author.

For example, searching the inessential feed for "Simmons" only shows one post.

That feed only has a top level author so it is a poor example of my use case. An atom feed I subscribe to has individual dc:creator tags per post.
