Searching by user in Shared Pages

[William Mair]

Possibly related to bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/857793, so apologies if this should have been in there.

At the moment, in the Shared Pages tab it seems that you can only search by page title, page description or tags, but you cannot search by a user.

Could this please be included in a future release (preferably 1.5)?

Thanks

This is a pretty complicated area as the View::view_search() is used in many areas.

I'm not going to add a new search type of 'users only' like the 'tags only'.

I'll update the general search type of 'Title, description, tags' to include users.

I'll change the lang string to "owner" because pages created by a group are also found and groups aren't users.
