OK so a pretty simple idea that I just wanted to gauge potential interest on.

For one of the forums I work with, one of our community managers handles a team of volunteers that needed to be added as volunteers. I noticed that it’s not possible to search for users in the admin panel by email.

Thus, the proposal is for a fairly simple feature to accept either usernames or email addresses in the admin panel search. But obviously I don’t just want to put this together and submit a pull request, I’d much rather make sure this would actually be a useful tool for others first.

Thoughts?
