Search Article/Blog post by User
Hi,
I created a smartsearch index with index type "Users", with options as below
Enabled users only: true
Index users from all sites: true
Users in roles: <i selected all the roles available>

I make this index, named as SearchByUser available to my kentico site.
I tested in the search preview by entering an existing username, it can find the user.

Then, I used webpart SearchDialogWithResults and included the SearchByUser index. When I type in the exact username into the search box and click on the search button, I can get the result showing the username which is clickable.

But I click on the username I got 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. message.

Am I missing something? How am I going to search for article/blog post by username??

Hello,

You need to create an index for Documents, because you want to search documents (articles/blogposts) according to the user, who created them and you can use a smart search filter for getting documents from an user as it is described here. For more information about smart search module please follow the link below to our documentation:

Best regards,
Jan Hermann
