I think it would be a little easier to accept (and probably easy to implement) if, in addition to title search, authors and keywords were also searchable. A search for my PhD advisor's last name results in 0 papers, though I uploaded a few papers that he and I coauthored.

That's a good idea. It's already possible to search for author names separately and then find the papers on their profile (if they have one), and it's also possible to search for a research interest tag and find the papers tagged with it. It would make sense to unify those with the title search.

> he and I coauthored

…which means that you wrote them and he, ah, "co-authored" them?

Yes, I did write most of the text, but without his guidance on the research and on what to write about more in depth, there would have been no article. He's been the best advisor. Don't you dare say bad things about him! :-)

Nice to hear!

If you have enough experience to guide me wrt what the interesting questions in a field are and how to make potential answers to those questions "meaningful", then I'm happy to write and have you as a co-author.
