Is there any method to search for FB User ID from email Address ?

Am developing a site where I would like to show the User Profile Pic based on his Email address - if the person is registered and the Profile Pic is made public.

Have tried searching - but am unable to get to any solution - where we can search for User ID - based on Email ID.

It is like how the Social Connect Plugin functions for Outlook 2010.

Thanx !

The solution is bit tricky now, you can use the friends importer from a Google account, and populate your Google contact via the Google API !

I have setup a bot to to this automatically, but I cannot share it with you, sorry, you have to write ur own^^

You can use the following graph API call: /search?q=email@dot.com&type=user

However, it appears this functionality may have a bug in it. See: Facebook Graph API "search" by email suddenly stopped working

The official bug is: http://developers.facebook.com/bugs/292220680814266
