This would be horribly slow though - KCompletion is designed around "completing
entries _starting_ with the typed string", it has a tree of characters to make that fast.
Not using that would mean doing the matching by hand, by comparing those 4
versions of each entry (first name, last name, etc.) with the typed string...

Somehow KCompletion would need support for key != value 
(having "LastName <address>" in the completion tree but showing
"FirstName LastName <address>" in the combo...)

Just my 2 cents (I'm definitely no KCompletion expert, I could be missing something).
