I have been working in some enhancements to the emacs UI address
completion, and this weekend I was able to find a way to finish the
implementation to an acceptable (to me) state.
The gist of it is allowing the completion in Emacs to match against
any part of the addresses returned by the notmuch-addrlookup command.
I could not find a way to have completing-read behave that way, the
strategy of matching anchored to the beginning of strings is
in-grained in its design for what I've seen.
The current implementation uses Ido, included with Emacs at least in
version 23, and is available at:
git://git.latertulia.org/servilio/notmuch.git
In the branch complete-name-and-address-v2. There is a web interface
if you prefer to see the changes, just use "http" as the protocol in
your web browser.
The first few changes in the branch are fixes and small enhancements I
found while working on this, and I have sent them as separate patches
for acceptance as they are independent of this work. All of this has
been in use (in the form of the branch without "-v2") for almost a
year. I started a message in August but somehow successfully forgot
completely about it.
Regards,
Servilio

Have you looked at 'ido-completing-read that comes with ido-mode?
I use it for completing through a modified version of eudc-select.
It allows for fuzzy matching on any part of the name.
