I tried to track this until Ui/Contacts.php function
getAddressbookSearchParams() but I still get the list of all
addressbooks from $prefs->getValue('search_sources') in this function
instead of the saved ones. Next stop is to where global variable $prefs
is set but couldn't locate it. So can you tell me where that is
please? :-)
