Description

Assuming the address book below, if you use a simple single word filter like "Smith", it
will match all Smiths in your address book. However if you use a more complex filter like
"J Smith" nothing will match. It only does an exact match. This proposed feature would allow
complex or wildcard filters eg:

"J* Smith" would return 5 entries.
"John Smith" would return the last three.

// Sample Addressbook
Harry Smith
Joan Smith
Jack Smith
John Smith
John Allen Smith
John William Smith
