To me, the time wasted in launching the applet makes the script too slow for
my taste. I nearly always have Entourage open, and I have a universal
keyboard shortcut (Cmd-Shift-E) that switches me to it for a lookup lots
faster than launching a script applet.

FWIW, my script, "Find Contact Plus v2", would work for that name, I
believe. I have a contact record where I have husband and wife both
identified, with different first and last names, so that First Name= "Mary
Anne & James" and Last Name= "Buchowski & Gregory". I searched on "Mary Anne
Buchowski" and it matched and opened the record.

Why use a script for that, when the ability is built in? Just click on the
icon next to their address, once their record is open, and select from the
menu for the postal address (or get a map!), or select and Copy the E-mail
address.
