The value of these Spotlight attributes should be indexed as part of [other metadata]. However, the name of these Spotlight attributes (e.g. kMDItemAuthorEmailAddresses) is not part of the metadata.
To explicitly search in a given Spotlight attribute, use the [then filter by Spotlight attribute] criterion.
For example:
[content, any metadata or filename] [includes all of the words] [email«~at~»address«|dot|»com]
[then filter by spotlight attribute] [author email addresses] [contains the string] [ignore case] [email«~at~»address«|dot|»com]
