It seems that "Find EMail Address in Address Book" works only with plain-ASCII and not extended. I can't find names with umlauts (the vowels with the dots above - äöü ÄÖÜ) in their name, like mine "Kobschätzki".
I worked out a fix for this. If you encode the search text as Mac Roman instead of UTF-8, lbdb and contacts will find it. I changed the command to translate for contacts. The fix for lbdb is a bit more involved, because lbdb is broken into modules and only the Address Book module needs help.
These directions assume you installed lbdb with MacPorts.
1. mkdir ~/.lbdb 2. save the attached m_osx_addressbook in ~/.lbdb 3. add the following to ~/.lbdbrc: MODULES_PATH="$HOME/.lbdb /opt/local/lib/lbdb"
Note that these commands assume your TextMate text is in UTF-8.
