Description

Use case

We might not have statistics, but I suspect it happens often that users enter their username (often their email address) at the WAYF, while they should enter a search term for their institution's IdP. We would like to list the user's IdP when they enter their email address.

Details

I suspect email address are easy to recogninize by the '@' and that the current search terms use the '@ ' symbol little.
It's fine if this works for most email addresses, based on the currently known IdP domains.

Research direction

Start at the WAYF/DS search entry point and inspect how known IdP domains and search terms are handled. Done means that entering an email address lists the corresponding IdP for supported domains, while preserving existing search behavior.
