[Run][New Plugin] Have the ability to search and open an Outlook Contact card.
I"m not sure how many folks other than myself spent the last 10 yrs complaining in the Office forums that I could not click the start button and type in anything from a Outlook Desktop contacts card, including something from the notes section, or a phone # to pull up AND LAUNCH a contact card.
The issue is now, when you click Start, Search, it finds a contact ONLY by name and only from the icky People App, and not by any of the info in the contact card; and then it teases you by giving you an OPEN command, and then Lucy pulls the football away by ONLY launching a New Email message, to that contact.
This has been cruel and unusual punishment for those of us, (am I the only one) who open contact cards all day every day.
If someone could make this new search thingy index all my Outlook contacts, the way Outlook 2010 did, I will promise to open 1000 contact cards consecutively in an act of celebration. I may even film it.
please add this! Mac has had this for years. Crazy that I have to use my iPhone to search for a contact stored on Exchange when my state-of-the-art Windows PC with 3 displays can’t do it!
For this the Contacts API can be used: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/samples/officedev/contacts-api-win10-uwp/contacts-api-win10-uwp/
To expand on this, in addition to the ability to access content cards, we could also add the ability to create calendar invites. Happy to work on this, personally.

Yes, please! Search for contacts (AD and local), and allow some actions directly:
- Send Email
- Send Teams message
- Call on Teams
This would be a huge plus (and Macs can do it already).
I was looking for this as well. There is a (very) old Wox plugin: https://github.com/jihunroh/Wox.Plugin.OutlookContacts
