Hmm, I'm not sure this is all that useful at least as it stands. Most external id's can be as easily found now via the Wikidata Resolver tool - https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/resolver.php - However, what I would find useful would be a way to locate for example partial street addresses - this (P969) is often entered as a qualifier on headquarters location (P159). Searching for' haswbstatement:P969=Main' now finds something, but only because that oddly has just 'Main' as the value for P969, and making the string lowercase ("main") finds nothing, which is definitely not what I would expect on this... I don't think treating string values as if they were identifiers is the right approach, the usefulness of a search engine is in normalizing string values so you can find them without having the exact matching string. And qualifiers should be folded in somehow!
