Search within Author

I like the cited by tool, and the passage guides, but I'd like to be able to find all the citations within my entire library against a specific author, if possible. I.e., every time an article written by Chafer, say, cites Genesis 1:1 --being able to narrow things down this way would be really helpful when you're looking for a specific point of view on a particular verse, but the person's work is scattered throughout a number of journals, theologies, commentaries, and other work.

Anyone know of a way to do this today? I assume there must be some way to form a search for this. Ideas?

I figured it out --it's like this:

author:chafer <Genesis 2:15–17>

And search in your entire library.

The closest thing I know of is to create a collection of all books by the Author Chafer, and then use that in the Cited By tool.

Both seem to bring totally different results.

A Basic Search on Author:name is incomplete as it doesn't reveal all articles, let alone books, written by that author e.g Merrill Tenney is credited as an author of EBC Vol 9 (Jn - Act), and there is an Article citation which is printed after copying text. But a Basic Search for Author:Tenney gives zero results in Entire Library. You can create a collection with Author:Tenney but not all the articles are written by Tenney, therefore any other attributes like scripture quotes aren't necessarily his.

The article citation is not present in all books but it does give credit to the author when you copy text from the article.
