 * Hello,
 * Thank you for this plugin that is great.
    I am trying to see if I could use this
   plugin to search authors with the autocomplete and hotlink features (instead 
   of showing a page of results which can be done with Relevanssi). The hotlink 
   would link to the author archive page.
 * Right now, the only way I have managed to simulate this is by searching categories
   which are set by default to each user with the “WordPress Default Category” plugin.
   The hotlink redirects to the category archive page.
 * This is not optimal and I am wondering how complex would it be to add a setting
   to the plugin to allow author search.
 * Thank you for you input.

 * Thanks for including that in your next release.
    Do you have an idea as of when
   the next version is going to be released.
 * One more comment. How can I add a link to to a page (category list) at the end
   of the search result list?
 * Thank you.
