In many systems the email address is a unique identifier. In order to be able to look up a constituent it is really important to be able to look up the constituent by email address.
Constituent (Search) now supports the ability to search on an email address (same functionality as found in the Raiser's Edge NXT constituent search feature). This expanded search will match against constituent email addresses when the searchText parameter is a valid email address. Note that we currently support exact match only.
We intend to make this specific enhancement, along with others, to the existing Constituent Search endpoint, as we've heard this request from multiple sources and agree with the value. I'll update to Planned once I have a better idea of when it may be delivered.
Great, look forward to testing it!
