How can we search for documents by authors?

I just figured out that I can use _CreationDate and _RevisionDate field names to search for a document by creation date or modified date. This is the query string I use to search for all documents that were created after January 10th 2004: “[_CreationDate] > 1/10/2004”.

Now, I want to run a search to find all document created by certain authors. I can search by authors using the Lotus Notes Client, but how can I find these documents programatically?

Thanks for your help in advance…

If you have a field explicitly for storing a document’s creator – as you appear to for creation and revision dates – simply base your selection on that. If you’re using document properties instead, create a subset of @Authors.

According to the “Lotus Notes 6 Help”, both the _CreationDate and _RevisionDate are contained in the document’s header, not the document itself.

Similarly, I wanted to see if there is any way to search for documents based on authors (users who created or updated the document.)

Sorry, I’m with you now. You should be able to use “_Note_Author” – this is specified along with the other header values you mention in the help file.
