Wp eCommerce meta information search

Question

Out of the box, WP eCommerce does not support Meta search. This is a big problem if you are selling books online and need clients to be able to search by the most important Meta tag, Author!

Can someone please tell me how I could go about including the meta information search or is there a better plugin that does not cost an arm and a leg to search for meta information too?

Many thanks
