The formatted name field should be automatically filled based on the 
other name fields and on a global KAddressbook setting how it should be 
constructed (e.g. "firstname lastname" or "lastname, firstname") unless 
it is explicitly set to something different. I don't think it should 
ever be empty, but should try to give the best short representation of 
who the addressee is.

For sorting it might be better to introduce a separate option how to 
sort the entries, i.e. what fields to use as sort keys.

The search should always use all fileds so that it doesn't make a 
difference, if you type in the first or last name or the email address. 
Ok, maybe, there are cases where it makes sense to exclude some fields 
from the search, maybe even user-configurable.
