Issue Summary
Two things I really love about project module's advanced search are the ability to restrict results by either "Authored by" or "Posted in"... it'd be cool if the core search module could do this as well.
I imagine "posted in" could be problematic from a performance standpoint, but it seems like "Authored by" might be pretty easy.

http://drupal.org/node/256792 will make it easy to implement a hook in user module (or a contrib module) for doing this.

This did not make it into Drupal 7 by the feature request deadline, so moving to Drupal 8.

Actually, the author part of this is is a duplicate of
#233476: Add search by node creation date and the author
The "posted in" feature sounds like taxonomy (which you could do in Drupal 6 advanced search, but it has been removed from Drupal 7).
It would also be interesting for core search to allow searching by fields (which are now in core)... so I'll leave this open as a feature request for that. Please discuss author searching on that other issue.
