Hi Jeremy, All contacts are read from the DB and then written to the client when opening the compose form. This is done in program/steps/mail/compose.inc at line 552.
The quick search function is just made client side using the array with all contacts. If you implement an LDAP connection, this should probably be replaced by sending requests to the server and get matching addresses. Therefore I suggest to create a function (PHP) which can search for addresses in all address books (the local one and all subscribed LDAP servers). This function can also be used for a search function within the address book task. If you have an LDAP connection implemented, I'll take care about the auto-complete function, if you want. Thanks!
