If I go to https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/ and search for Internet-Draft (active) with author “cheshire” it finds this list:

draft-cheshire-dnssd-privacy-considerations-01
draft-cheshire-dnssd-roadmap-00
draft-cheshire-edns0-owner-option-01
draft-cheshire-sudn-ipv4only-dot-arpa-08
draft-ietf-dnsop-session-signal-04
draft-ietf-dnssd-hybrid-07
draft-ietf-dnssd-push-13
draft-ietf-homenet-simple-naming-00
draft-jjmb-v6ops-ietf-ipv6-only-incremental-00
draft-sctl-discovery-broker-00
draft-sctl-dnssd-mdns-relay-02
draft-sctl-service-registration-00

If I search for Internet-Draft (active) with author “Apple” it finds only these drafts of mine:

draft-cheshire-sudn-ipv4only-dot-arpa-08
draft-jjmb-v6ops-ietf-ipv6-only-incremental-00

Am I doing something wrong?

The same thing applies to the similar URL https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/search/

In case my original report wasn’t clear, I’m trying to find RFCs where the text “Apple” appears in the author’s name and/or affiliation. My manager, in preparing a case for Apple’s continued participation in the IETF, asked me to give him a list of RFCs and active Internet Drafts by Apple authors. I told him I could do this with the search tool, and was surprised to find that it doesn’t appear to be as easy as I had hoped.

Fixed in 535cd0b:

Expanded the fields that the 'author' entry of the document search form is applied to, from just author name, to author name, email addresses, and affiliation. Fixes issue #2415.
