Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 83023

Right now there is no direct way of finding names in the address book.  You have
to scroll through the sorted list.  It seems to me that it would make sense to
have a text box permanently displayed in which one could type to jump to the
desired name.  One might even consider hooking the box up to the autofill
algorithm used in the addressing boxes in composer.  I hope this done as it
seems silly to have an address book without a quick way to find the name you're
looking for. We could possibly reuse the graphics normally used for the urlbar,
and stick it in the addressbook toolbar, which is currently pretty barren.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Address Book
2.Try to find name/card
		

Actual Results:  Have to scroll through list

Expected Results:  There should be some quicker way

There seem to be no previous bugs filed on this (the closest is bug 17879, which
is not really the same thing).  Setting os and platform to all and status to new.
