Dropping the priority for this on Dekko as we currently have contact
import setup through content-hub. This bug fixed would still be a more
ideal solution, but it's no longer a blocker in Dekko.

  Needs to support direct searching of contacts

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.
