This is similar to #12480, but not really.

In short... what we really need is an API method in Turba for plain  
email search.  Pass it a string, and it searches all e-mail fields  
(and name fields, as an additional option).  Returns only the e-mails  
that match, not all entries.

This could all theoretically be done remotely ... but I've just spent  
2 hours trying to implement this in IMP and realized that it makes no  
sense.  Since I'm trying to do things like grab the configuration file  
from Turba and parse various fields (which is not documented in the  
external application API).  This is hackish at best, and will result  
in duplicate code at worst since this common code needs to be  
duplicated elsewhere (IMP is not going to use Horde_Core's  
autocomplete code going forward for multiple reasons).
