Passing stuff to search

[Mr Bob]

How do I link directly to an author search using the author's name or ID number?

Like, if I want to search for all posts from Mr Bob, I would click 'Advanced Search' and then enter Mr Bob. Is there a way to do this by visiting a link, like search.aspx?v=Mr%20Bob

See the attached code. It's the 3rd to last variable.
