allow search by email when inputing a user name

If we know a member’s real name but not their user name, we may have trouble to identify them. Even if I can guess, sometimes I can’t be sure if e.g. “Paul” or “Paul_0” is the right one.

The dropdown suggestion box showing email next to the user name, and picking up email matches, would help with this.

Instances where I could use this:

  • tag them in a post
  • invite them to a group
  • publishing an article on behalf of a colleague

I also included this comment in this conversation, 

...but in case it’s lost or not picked up in that case I wanted to add it here.

@JessEs thanks for creating this idea. You would like to have this option only in Control right?
