Building an easy consult-bbdb

[WorldsEndless]

BBDB has the command (bbdb), which does a good thing: it takes an input, takes an "RET" key, then searches the bbdb database, and returns a list of results. It would be nice to have Consult in the equation to get those search results as-I-type. The end goal for me is to view the results so I can see details on some BBDB contact without that extra RET key-press. Is there a simple way to wire up a consult wrapper for the bbdb command or some other strategy to simply get at those results?

I am not familiar with bbdb so I cannot help you with the details. I suggest you take a look at consult--dynamic-collection which allows you to dynamically generate candidates. consult--dynamic-collection is used by consult-line-multi and consult-info to find matching lines in buffers/info files. In a similar way, you could scan the bbdb database. I hope this helps!
