I'm looking for a way to search for posts made by a Usergroup

[Jon Charette]

Is it possible to search for all posts made by a Usergroup instead of a User. I've looked through the forums and not seen any hacks along these lines, does anyone know if it may exist or how I could go about doing this myself?

It wouldn't be difficult to do yourself. The thing to do is to look at how the posts by user is done, but change it slightly. The query should look for usergroupid instead of userid.

The easiest way to get started is to trace it back. Look at the search template and see the variables used in the form to search by user. Then, go to search.php and find the functions that handle that variable.

Once you find the code, it's trivial to mimic it with a new function for searching for posts by a usergroup.
