Is it anyhow possible to search files by their owners / authors?

Thanks for your fast answer :)
"Not yet" means it will be available soon? If so, could you maybe give a rough time frame for it?

could you please update us if anything changed? It would be a very useful feature. Have you looked into it already by any chance?

I'm also looking for this capability. My company uses a network folder for a lot of things and it is highly disorganized. I know a particular user has created a file in the past two days and I can't find it and they're out.

Everything 1.5 will have a last author property.

Example usage:

*.docx dm:2024 last-author:bob
*.docx dm:2024 last-author:"john doe"

last-author:



There's also an owner and author property which will show who created the document.
