Why doesn't the MacRumors account show up in the "Posted by" list when doing a search? (I feel like it used to, but not 100% sure.) I know I can just type it in and leave it at that, but I often press Return/Enter to run the search and it ends up selecting the first account in the list instead...so then I need to go back and fix it.

It looks like the list is sorted alphabetically, so it seems like "MacRumors" should be right at the top, especially for an exact match.

I suspect "MacRumors" not showing up in the list may cause confusion for others as well...making them think they can't do a search for articles written by MacRumors this way.

MacRumours is a bot not a person and therefore I think the admin of the site has set it up so it is not included in the 'Posted By:' search criteria. I could be wrong though.
