search "nickname" when suggesting contact #565

It would be cool if, when suggesting a contact based on typing in the "to" 
field, webSMS searched the "nickname" field of the contacts db as well as 
first/last name. The stock contacts app's Search function does this, and it is 
a very useful feature once one starts using it. :)
Great pair of apps, well worth the ad-free version. :)

If I write "Dr." I get listet all Doctors from my Phonebook, although none of 
these is displayed as Dr. in the Phonebook.
If I write "Dad" I get the Contact of my dad, although he is with first and 
last name in my phonebook, not with "dad".
Actually the standard SMS/MMS tool seems to access fields, which are not 
displayed in the phonebook (like "prefix"... etc)

Would be a great feature if WebSMS/SMSDroid accessed these invisible fields, 
too!
