   I've been trying to make query_posts work with search but with no luck. Adding it displays all posts in the search results even those without matches. Can somebody point me to the right direction?

   <?php query_posts('author=1');  ?>
       <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
   	        <div class="posttitle"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"> <?php the_title(); ?></a></div>
   			<div class="postbody"><?php the_excerpt(); wp_reset_query();?></div>
   
   	<?php endwhile;
   
   	//Reset Query
   	wp_reset_query();?>

   By declaring the query_posts line as you've done above, you're losing any queried variables.. in this case you're losing the $s variable which holds the search text..

   Try the following:
   

   // Check the query variable is available
   if(!$wp_query) global $wp_query; // If not, global it so it can be read from
   // Your custom args
   $args = array( 'author' => 1 );
   // Merge the custom args with any for the query already
   $args = array_merge( $args , $wp_query->query );
   // Now do the query
   query_posts( $args );

   Oh, that explains it, now I understand. This is what I ended up using:

   <?php query_posts($query_string . "&author=1");?>
        <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
             <!--post-->

   Many thanks, ma'am/sir! :)
