3. As a user, I want to be able to filter for specific users so that I can look up posts by specific users. (Ethan Tan)

We rank this user story third because:

• Impact: The ability to filter posts by specific users is useful, especially for users who want to follow content from particular individuals or influencers. While this feature improves user experience by enabling easier navigation and targeted content consumption, its impact is slightly lower compared to broader search and filter functionality based on keywords or topics, as it addresses a more specific use case.

• Estimated Effort: The effort to implement filtering by users is moderate(~ 7-9 hours). It primarily involves adding user-based filters to existing search functionality and ensuring proper indexing of user-generated content. Since the complexity is lower and it builds on core search features, this is a logical next step after implementing keyword and topic filtering.

Acceptance Criteria:

1. The user search for a specific user
2. Only this user's posts appear on the page, without any other posts that are not posted by this user.
