--- Comment #7 from Vishesh Handa <me at vhanda.in> ---
At the request of a user, I looked into this bug. 

I'm adding extra information over here in case anyone wants to fix it -
* The relevant code is in kdeplasma-addons/runners/contacts/
* The code uses the old (2007) way of accessing all the Contacts. This method
while theoretically compatible with the current Akonadi instance, currently
seems to be broken.
* The code should be ported to the Akonadi::ContactsTreeModel. This mostly
means just replace the KABC::StdAddressBook with the
Akonadi::ContactsTreeModel, and then modifying the match method to iterate over
the results better. I can provide further guidance if someone is interested.

Overall, the code works by iterating over every contact in the DB and searching
each string manually. This is not efficient and a search index should be used.
This code will not be ported to Plasma5. I'll be working on a new contacts
runner which combines both IM and Email, and groups people based on "People".
