This is a tested backport of the admin search by email patch by mattman at http://drupal.org/node/113983

It allows administrators with the "administer users" permissions to do searches against email address as well as just username. Please see http://drupal.org/node/113983 for more information and discussion on the patch.

This patch will apply cleanly to Drupal 5.1 release. I am also going to follow up with the actual user.module file in case you are someone who has trouble applying patches.

Here is the patched user.module file from Drupal 5.1 release. You can rename this to user.module and drop it over the old one in modules/user/ and it will activate this feature.

We usually don't back port features.

Thanks, damien_vancouver -- works great, and exactly what I needed!

I guess this makes me an unusual user, as per Comment #2, but, hey, I never claimed to be normal. ;-)

Updated patch against current version of D5, in case anyone finds it useful -- the above doesn't apply on newer versions.
Run against my site's SVN, so you need to be in the user folder to apply it.
