 * Is it possible to use this plugin to search for posts by certain authors?
 * Attempting to create a search function that will filter posts by category and
   author. I’m after a dropdown menu that lists all the authors on the site.

 * Yes, it is possible. Any parameter that accepted by [wp_query class](https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query)
   is accepted by this plugin as well.
 * The concept is easy, just add the authors field on the search form, and use that
   data inject into the wp query by the filter that provided by the plugin.
 * However, this will required at least a moderate level wp/php knowledge to write
   the codes.
