Is there a straightforward way to make an ABSearchElement which matches
a substring in ANY address book field? The methods for creating a
search element for a person require a non-nil property to search in but
if I for instance do a search in the Address Book application it
matches substrings in the various name fields and in the parts of the
address. I know I can make a whole stack of search elements and
conjoin them with an "OR" operation but this both is very cumbersome
and requires me to enumerate all the possible address book properties.
Does anyone know if there is some special property which will match
against all fields? Failing that, does anyone know how Address Book
does it's interactive searches?
Cheers,
Nicko
