How about allowing a list, rather than a symbol, in the binding space,
so that I can say:
(setq bbdb-completion-type '(primary name net aka old-net))
Then I can express the way I search correctly: I want to match on the
primary net address, then the real name.
If that fails, try for another net address, an AKA and, finally, the
old-net field where I store the now outdated addresses of people who
have moved...
(Note that this last is something I plan on setting up, just next time
it gets to be irritating enough. ;)
