Tiger only hintI haven't seen this hint elsewhere; there is something similar in Mail, but not exactly. If you type in someone's initials in Spotlight, it will return their contact info.

[robg adds: This works, but it's not necessarily the most efficient way to find a contact (I prefer using Butler to do so by typing part of their name). In my case, there are 125,649 matches for 'rg' on my machine, only one of which is my contact card ... and it took quite a few seconds before the Address Book entry showed up in the results list.]
