Builing an easy consult-bbdb #925

Closed WorldsEndless closed 3 months ago

WorldsEndless commented 3 months ago

BBDB has the command (bbdb), which does a good thing: it takes an input, takes an "RET" key, then searches the bbdb database, and returns a list of results. It would be nice to have Consult in the equation to get those search results as-I-type. The end goal for me is to view the results so I can see details on some BBDB contact without that extra RET key-press. Is there a simple way to wire up a consult wrapper for the bbdb command or some other strategy to simply get at those results?
