 Hey ocean90,

 Oops, yes, it will actually search email address. It does NOT require the
 @ symbol.

 So my correction would read that, as you noted, it doesn't search in the
 first name, last name and display name but does search email.

 I am noting the concern about lack of an index stated in
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16366 however, as noted, email
 address has no index yet is searched.

 Maybe this isn't a bug - although I feel it is - but is instead a user
 experience issue. Users simply, logically, expect search to search all
 fields or at least those displayed on the page mentioned. Search is of
 very limited use without this functionality.
