This plug-in allows you to access your Address Book contacts and their contact info, allowing you to email them, view their phone numbers and addresses, or start an online chat quickly and easily.

By default your Address Book contacts will be added to the catalog, so you should be able to simply activate Quicksilver and type the name of the person you're looking for. Once you've selected a contact, you may choose an action (this plug-in adds the Add Note…, Edit Contact and Show Contact actions) or view the contents of the contact by pressing the right arrow key or the '/' key. You'll be presented with a list of items, each representing a different piece of information about that person, such as email address, phone number, and postal address.

To browse your contacts, simply select Address Book in Quicksilver and view the contents using the right arrow key or the '/' key. You should be presented with a list of all the contacts in your address book, which you can search within just as you would any folder in your file system.

To compose and send email to recipient, refer to the Email Support plug-in.

• Doesn't show groups.
• If you have a group named Quicksilver, the plug-in will only scan that group. (This is a 'feature', but one that's not easy to figure out.)
