Searching users by email with FQL

Question

Took me quite a while to determine why my fql search wasn't working in javascript. After finally discovering the old REST API page to test FQL queries I discovered that I cannot perform this search because the 'email' column is "not indexable".

Is there any way I can execute a query like this?

SELECT name FROM user WHERE email="user@email.com"

Answer 1

Do a user search against the graph API. It's not available via FQL.
