We should be able to search an author's name and get back posts by them.

I've added a plugin that improves the core WP search and adds configuration options within the dashboard (Settings > Relevanssi). Please have a look-see on staging to see it in action.

Note: there is a "pro" version of the plugin that enables you to weight different fields in order to return more relevant results.

Looks good -- do you know if the pro version includes a way to prioritize author matches? I don't see it in the current settings. In any case, even if that's not available this works better, thanks!

Yes, the premium version enables you to weight based on taxonomy (or other criteria).

Interestingly, it also lists the most common words

This is fulfilled by the relevanssi plugin that has been added.
