In vB we were able to search on ranges of IP addresses, such as using only the first three octets (ie. 127.0.0.*). The search in XF appears to work only for full IP addresses, based on combinations I've tried ("127.0.0", "127.0.0.*", etc.).
vB also had a "2-level" IP address search which was a bit more comprehensive.
Our staff on the big board uses these to examine new members with suspicious activity--the forum tends to attract trolls, and they like to see if there is any history of other suspicious members that were banned.

My staff is really requesting we have this feature, due to many banned members who try to sign up under alternate IPs on the same subnet. We've caught many over the years that way! Let me hope this makes it into XF 1.3 or someone creates an add-on...
