Searching by plugin author appears to only search by username

Description

From the Plugins -> Add New screen, performing a search by Author instead of the default Keyword appears to only work when searching by a username (eg. johnbillion) and returns no results when searching by display name (eg. John Blackbourn). This makes the search useless when a plugin author's username is nothing like their actual name.
