Address book search customization

[Tom]

Hi all,

Is it possible to capture the address book search event? If so can we chain
a custom search should the the query not return any results?

Thanks,
Tom

Address book search event when? When you type a name and it gets resolved as
a recipient? There's no event exposed for that I've ever seen.

Hi Ken,

I had a customer that wanted to catch the user email address search event
and perform a custom query if the outlook search did not return any results.
I did not think that it was possible without hacking into low level windows
api's.

Thanks,
Tom

So essentially yo uwant to return your own address when a name gets
resolved, right?
Address Book provider is the only solution (this is as low level MAPI as it
gets).
