 * Hey guys,
 * I’m trying to filter the search results so that if I search an authors name, 
   that authors posts are given priority to posts with the authors name in the posts
   content or title.
 * For example if I search the author Dana Scott. I want her posts to come up before
   any post that might have her name in the content.
 * Hope this makes sense. Also, this plugin is awesome!
