I'm looking at the function display() and the value of
$search['sources'] is the array of all the addressbooks. When I check
from sql shell the value of the relevant preference with:

select * from horde_prefs where pref_scope='imp' and pref_uid='mgiritli'
and pref_name='search_sources'

It shows the only addressbook I actually selected. So the preference is
correct but reading from it is problematic.

Shouldn't $search['sources'] only return the value I find with the above
query? i.e., the only selected addressbooks?
