I have the same problem, but I need a better solution. I'm doing a managed query on the contacts and am already filtering out entries that do not have a DISPLAY_NAME, but I still get all the suggested contacts. I need to deal with contacts that have a name but no phone number or email address.
I guess the proper way would be to check in which group a contact is, but what's the quickest way to do that in a simple managed query? And what group is the official "Contacts" group? I could look at the source for the contacts app, but maybe there is "an official" solution that someone could post here real quick.
