Guess what?... one is already in the bug database:

As for a search inside the contacts you own, this has been the major
reason for a customer to drop OGo as they were not able to manage
privacy the way users like (read: "my contacts are for me and not for
you, period"). Lesson taken: if you cannot mimick outlook, do not try to
fix your user.
