Chris, 

You've hit on an interesting variation on FAQ #1:

http://mksearch.dev.webarch.net/mksearch/Help.jsp

Your query needs quotes so it is not regarded as "Chris" or "Croome", 
and a wildcard to match against the email address part:

"Chris Croome*"

See:

http://mksearch.dev.webarch.net/mksearch/HttpQuery?dc.subject=&dc.cont
ributor=%22Chris+Croome%2A%22&type=html&limit=10


You can get the same results with just dc.contributor=*Croome*

http://mksearch.dev.webarch.net/mksearch/HttpQuery?dc.subject=&dc.cont
ributor=%2ACroome%2A&type=html&limit=10


Or by email: dc.contributor=*chris at webarchitects.co.uk

http://mksearch.dev.webarch.net/mksearch/HttpQuery?dc.subject=&dc.cont
ributor=%2Achris%40webarchitects.co.uk&type=html&limit=10


If you look up the contributors index it lists all contributors and 
the full field text:

http://mksearch.dev.webarch.net/mksearch/index.jsp?property=dc.contrib
utor

When you have added the domain to the server.xml configuration, you 
will be able to browse this index directly from the home page. See by 
subject:

http://mksearch.dev.webarch.net/mksearch/index.jsp?property=dc.subject

Best regards,

Phil
