Public bug reported:

Use case:
- contact auto-completion

When typing addressees in an email app, you want to be able to use auto-
completion from your contacts without disclosing more data than
necessary.

The only secure way seems to be for the content hub to own the display
of matching results, otherwise we're opening ourselves to a brute-force
attack to get data on all the contacts.

So my proposal would be that, as usual, a content hub operation is
started for the search (decorated with originator geometry most likely),
the hub queries all relevant data sources and displays a list of
matching results. The search query will need to be updated as the user
types. Selecting one of those would trigger the actual content exchange.

This type of prompt could not gain focus (as to allow the user to
continue typing in the text entry), and would probably need to support
some styling properties to make it fit within the originator app.
