You can *browse* your contacts. This is something you can't with the autocompletion simply because the limited number of results displayed. But auto-completion lets you search your contacts, thats why I considered the search feature within the address book widget less important. But that doesn't mean it will never appear there.
I added a search function in my addressbook plugin on specific request from quite a few others out there with company LDAP addressbook consisting of hundreds or even thousands of contacts. Apparently without a search function it becomes useless :)
I fully accept this being a desirable feature and is therefore is on our roadmap: http://trac.roundcube.net/ticket/1488381
