Feature request: allow wildcard searches, with a sufficiently large literal starting prefix, to return a simple "zero" or "more-than-one" result. EG: "john*@gmail.com" I'd then feel better about typing my address into a random site, and be able to check site-specific variants of my address more easily.

Yes!

For every different site I use a different email address, so I know when something fishy is going on. so I might have hackernews@mydomain.com. The form wont accept just @domainname.com :(

Also, for those of us that use aliases for each site we visit... it would allow a quick lookup of them.
