Ah, got it now :)

I'm afraid I can't help you on that one though.

I'm pretty sure it works as you want on my set-up at work, e.g. if I
type "home" to send a mail to remind myself about something, it
matches
and fills in the correct address.  Similarly with friends names or
nicknames.  It does the same on the shared company address book where
quite a few folks are known by nicknames too.

I can't check any of the settings at the moment, but I'll have a look
through the options tomorrow and see if I can spot anything that might
be connected with it.
