[Koha] Alternative borrower search methods

I wonder if there would be interest from other libraries in Koha providing
more
options for searching borrowers. I had a request today from a librarian who
wanted to be able to search for a borrower by email: he'd received an email
message
from a borrower, but the person didn't provide any additional information
(no name, card number, etc). The librarian wanted to know how to find out
who the email came from.

When working with other ILSes, I've found it useful to be able to search
using other fields in the borrower record. For instance, you could search
by address or phone number to find other members of the same household.

Would this be useful to your library?
