Hi

I have been looking into the problem of uniquely identifying authors so
we can search for all the papers published by an author.

I thought the solution would be to use a unique email address for each
author.

There are two problems with this approach. Firstly the email format we
use is of the form J.P.Smith AT reading.ac.uk and if try searching for this
the search will ignore the J P ac and uk so it would find all the
Smiths's at reading.

Secondly when I try using the username instead of the email address the
search does not find a match. This leads me to believe that the search
is not searching the creator_id. This is true for the simple search and
the creator field in the advanced search.

Where is the field that simple search uses defined and fields searched
in the advanced search when creators is used?


Cheers
