Describe the request
Add the author field of the library index to the search scope of the arduino-cli lib search command.
🙂 The chances of finding a library by searching for the name of its author will be increased.

Name: "Arduino_ConnectionHandler"
Author: Ubi de Feo, Cristian Maglie, Andrea Catozzi, Alexander Entinger et al.
Maintainer: Arduino.cc
Sentence: Arduino Library for network connection management (WiFi, GSM, NB, [Ethernet])
Paragraph: Originally part of ArduinoIoTCloud

Name: "FlashStorage_SAMD"
Author: Cristian Maglie <[email protected]>, Khoi Hoang <[email protected]>
Maintainer: Khoi Hoang <[email protected]>
Sentence: The FlashStorage library aims to provide a convenient way to store and retrieve user's data using the non-volatile flash memory of SAMD21/SAMD51. It's using the buffered read and write to minimize the
access to Flash. It now supports writing and reading the whole object, not just byte-and-byte.
Paragraph: Useful if the EEPROM is not available or too small. Currently, ATSAMD21 and ATSAMD51 are supported (and consequently every board based on this cpu like the Arduino Zero, Aduino MKR1000, Nano-33 IoT, Itsy-Bitsy M4, etc).

Describe the current behavior
The scope of arduino-cli lib search is the following fields of the library index:
arduino-cli/commands/lib/search.go
Line 44 in 5730e2e
namesentenceparagraph
The author field of the library.properties metadata file of Arduino libraries contains the name of the author(s) of the library.
🙁 It is difficult to find libraries by searching for the author name.
