I would love to see a feature like this added to content-hub,

At the moment the only solution we have in dekko is to mass import
contacts which we then have to maintain a duplicate address-book with no
real way to keep it in sync, other than do another mass import and
filter out dups. Which is a pain and bad UX in my opinion.

Title:
  Needs to support direct searching

Status in Dekko:
  Confirmed
Status in content-hub package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
