This is already possible. It used to be the other way around, that one
could only search for the displayed name and not the email address. 

To prove the current state of this to myself, I searched for "David", who
has email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Note no David in that email address)
and 13 messages was found no problem. I then searched for his email
address and found the same 13 messages.

So something else is fishy with your search. You should revise it and
possibly rebuild the search index. I usually just delete it and let it
build a new one. This take possibly a little longer, but it's better than
waiting for several hours and find it is still broken. This have happened
several times to me, so I abandoned that approach.
