I experienced the same bug (kmail not finding email addresses from
kaddressbook) on a fresh install of Kubuntu 16.04. It turns out the binary
files for akonadi search (package libkf5akonadisearch-bin) were not installed.
After installing the specific package and allowing kontact to index my PIM
data, everything now works as it should (except for the typing an initial
character and backspacing to bring up the search results).

So maybe this is a kubuntu packaging/dependency issue? I must also mention that
I had akonadi_baloo_indexer (package baloo_utils) installed, which is from KDE
4 and most probably conflicts with the KF5 akonadi search. (This is a fresh
install, not upgrade from previous ubuntu version). I had to manually remove
that package and its dependencies.
