Admin Panel Article Search Fix or Add On Can't Post

In the "Articles" section of the admin panel, there is the ability to search on "keyword", and then of course narrowing down by category and pending / visible etc.

I need to be able to search by Author name or email, and it just does NOT work properly. (i.e., searching my email address and I DO have articles - says 0 results found).

Can you give me the instructions to add the ability to search by author name and/or email address in the articles reviewing section of the admin panel?

We have some we realized who have submitted things like web URLS instead of email addresses and we need to delete them, but doing so through the sql doesn't delete the articles properly from the built pages. If we can properly search by name and/or email, I can then pull them up in the admin and delete them properly.

(This is like 400!)

Hi Amber!

You can add any field you'd like to the default fields that are searched by going to Admin > Database Editor > Table Editor (for Articles) and adding any extra fields you want to search on to the "Default Search Fields" field. :)

I hope this helps!

Okay - that's interesting...

It *is* set to search by author, but that rarely works. Not sure why?

Anyway, I added the email and that works - thanks!
