  • federated address book view: searches include contact enablers in address books of which this address book is an ancestor in the address book hierarchy
  • isolated address book view: searches are restricted to contact enablers in this address book

Contact enablers may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the ContactEnablerQuery.
