+# Resolve aliases when searching for people
+
+* tags: bug
+
+We only index canonical names of people using the known aliases. Hence, when searching for people's names, we must also resolve the names in the query before running the search.
+
+This is best done by using a custom xapian field processor for the relevant search prefixes such as creator:, lastupdater: and assigned:.
