Hi - check the def() and if() functions, they can have embedded functions such as exists() and query(). You can use those to apply the main query the the productline field if author has some value. I cannot give a concrete example because i don't have an environment to fiddle around with. If the main query has parameter qq, you can use parameter substitution by using $qq in the function queries. Please check the wiki and cwiki docs on edismax and function queries for examples and references.
