In our environment, we have modified the autocomplete to do an ajax request because we wanted to provide our users with a list of their personal contacts combined with contacts pulled from a very large ldap system. We have plenty of extra LDAP server muscle, so repeated queries aren't a concern (and we're doing caching in php as a part of our patch).
Do you want to provide your patch
I really, really do. Unfortunately, the ldap part of it is very specific to our ldap schema. I will work on making it work for a more generic ldap address book.
To really make one patch work for both roundcube general and for people like us with wacky addressbooks, I'd like to make it a patch against devel-api and somewhere inside have a call to something like:
$RCMAIL->plugins->exec_hook('addressbook-autocomplete', array('search terms . . . .
Then address books could implement that call. Then that hook could be called either by ajax or to pre-populate the client like we do currently.
Making it an "action" sounds about right to me.

Thoughts?
