Hi, first of all the tool you have build is great, congratulations!

How can I show the notice/ memo field next to the in the "address book"-column?

If I understand correctly you want something like: Last1 First1 NoteText Last2 First2 NoteText in addressbook list?

This is currently not supported and because the note field value usually contains long string it may look very bad in the interface.

Is it possible to include the notice/ memo field into search?

Theoretically yes but it will increase the DOM size and slows down the browser. The search is currently performed on strings extracted from vCard object (these are inserted into DOM) because search performed directly on this object can be VERY slow. I will add support for user configurable search attributes in future.

Or a check-box to only search in this field?

Maybe in future because "intelligent" search requires major interface changes.

Would it be also possible to include a check box or something else to send a mail to multiple contacts at once?

This is a philosophical problem - if I add support for checkboxes (or something similar) then everybody will ask for mass-operation support (for example: user selects multiple contacts and then want to delete them or move them to other addressbook or vCard group).

The problem is that every operation (for example delete) requires separate DELETE request to the server (there is no mass-operation support in DAV specification) and sending LOT of subsequent requests can cause one click DOS attack (server will stops responding). Another problem is data integrity, because there is no guarantee that you will not lose your network connection during the mass-operation (big problem in vCard group operations).
