Makes sense.
  gpg --list-keys foo
will list all keys where one of the user IDs contains the three 
letters "foo" (substring match).

Please read the section "HOW TO SPECIFY A USER ID" in the manual page of 
gpg (man gpg) for the different possibilities to specify what key(s) to 
use for some operation with gpg.
