Better explained than I did! Hehe.

I think it would be helpful. Although, the absolute practical value
seems intermittent and sparse - that is, most will be searching by name,
puid, etc. In a similar way, we should be able to search by DOB, too,
since that seems a common way to search as well. However, you get into
the problem of searching every parameter, etc. Won't go that far,
I hope.  Hehe.
