I am trying set up an advanced find to pull in the User Name. All I have been able to do so far is pull in the CreatedByUserNum description. Can I pull in the created by name without adding the text field to the article?

Hi,

There is a way you can do this by adding a search for the meta field createdBy.fullname, if you add this to your search fields:

Created by user|createdBy.fullname|match

A drop down will be added to the advanced search with all of the user names. You don't have to add any extra fields to the section to get this working. 

You can also use this as a list field for the section list page as well.

Thanks!

Thanks Greg. Could you point me in the direction of where I could find the various built in field names?

Specificaly, now I am still testing advanced find options and Id like to be able to search for a range in a field we call "published_date". Is there a function other than match that I could use for a range rather than a drop down box.

I hope I explained this well.
