I think you might be able to do the same with `pass grep`.  So it might
not really be necessary to add a new feature.

One of my files in .password-store might look like this:
> secret-password
> site: www.example.com
> login: foo.bar.example.com/login.php
> user: Lucas42
> info: foobar
> somemoreinfo: bla bla

Now I can `pass grep foobar` or `pass grep bla` or whatever I remember
from that file and pass will find the file for me.

The advantage of my solution above is that all additional info is also
encrypted.  If you want the password of the matching entries to be
displayed directly you might need some manual scripting because the
`pass grep` command is not very scriptable.  But something like this
might do it:

pass grep foo | \
  sed -r -e '/:$/!d' \
         -e "s/\x1B\[([0-9]{1,2}(;[0-9]{1,2})?)?m//g" \
	 -e 's/:$//' | \
  while read line; do
    if [ -e "${PASSWORD_STORE_DIR:-~/.password-store}/$line.gpg" ]; then
      echo
      pass show "$line"
    fi
  done

Cheers
