Replaces the default WordPress Author meta box (that has an author dropdown) with a meta box that allows you to select the post's, or page's, author via Autocomplete.

Can really come in handy if you have a lot of authors and are tired of scrolling through that long author dropdown.

1. Upload 'authors-autocomplete-meta-box' to the '/wp-content/plugins/' directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
3. Start finding and selecting a post or page's author like a boss.

The Authors Autocomplete shows the author's display name, login and email address to help you select the correct author. Once selected, the author's gravatar is displayed to the left.
