Searching for a user by a previous email address?

Using the Admin API, we can search for users by email with Get User Account Info. But user account emails can be changed in Game Manager. Is there any way to search by a previously used email address after the user has changed it?

E.g. if user foo@bar.com contacts our admins, successfully verifies their identity, and has the admin changed their email to foo@baz.com, is there any way to search on foo@bar.com to find the user?

Thanks, David

After the user modifying their email, you can't search for him by the previous email address.

If this is indeed your business needs, one way you could enable this right now would be by storing their login email in EntityData when registering and modifying every time.

Thanks! I think that this is low enough priority for our Admin page that we will punt it for now.
