Authors exluded from search function

Hi,

I have an issue using your plugin, perhaps you can help me and clear things up.
As I use the standard WP search function (using Uncode Theme) no results show up as I search for a authors name. For instance I want all posts by “Katherine” to show up as I search her name.
I suppose this doesn’t work because the function doesn’t go through the custom fields your plugin has created. Is that right?

So I installed another search function(Ajax Search Lite) with which I can search through custom fields aswell. With this plugin I can select in what fields to look, like [post], [tablepress_table], [user_request] etc. I can also type them in by hand. So my question is: what should I type in to select the names of the authors?

!! Standard searchbar is in the menu on top. The Ajax Search Lite field is in the content field.

Thanks in advance!
