Hello:

   is there a way to specify a key in $params for searching all emails matching all location types.
currently when i use the code below, it searches only emails matching the primary (default) location type

  // initialize civicrm
  civicrm_initialize();
  require_once 'api/v2/Contact.php';

  // search for matching emails.
  $params = array('email' => $form_state['values']['email']);

  $result = civicrm_contact_search($params);

Another better idea would be to provide

Thanks.

  i looked at the function CRM_Core_BAO_Email::allEmails

    /**
     * Get all the emails for a specified contact_id, with the primary email being first
     *
     * @param int $id the contact id
     *
     * @return array  the array of email id's
     * @access public
     * @static
     */
    static function allEmails( $id )

  and it gets all emails for a specific contact id. what i needed was to obtain all contact id's for a particular email
address irrespective of whether it's primary/main/work/other etc.

not sure how wrapping this function with a wrapper and invoking the civicrm_contact_search could achieve it.
sorry i'm not totally familiar with internally how the api's are coded.  i'd be glad to work on it but i'll need some guidance on it.

thx.
