You can only search in one address book at a time, if you have many address books like me (20+) to separate the different things (schools, friends, works, associations....) this is really really impractical.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open the address book
2.Access to the menu Edit / Search addresses..
3.You can select only one address book
Actual Results:  
You can select only one address book

Expected Results:  
I would like to select all the address books and do my search.
There is another consequence, it would then make sense to display as one column of the results, the name of the address book where the address was found. Of course there is always the option to double click it to edit it
