I forgot LaunchBar. In fact, you can import your entire address book into
LB, and--from anywhere--trigger LB with it's hot key, and start typing the
person's name (or abbreviation thereof), and you get a list of matching
files, apps, folders, and E-mail addresses. My friend Robert Perry, for
instance, I can access by typing Cmd-Space (my trigger for LaunchBar),
"rper", Return. I end up in Entourage with a new E-mail addressed to him.

The really great thing about LB is that you can "train" it to know
abbreviations. If "rper" gives me a list including Robert Perry, but
something else as first choice, and I click on his entry, then the next time
I type "rper", LaunchBar picks his record first.
