	Hi,
that sounds new to me, as I recall some exchange plugins did change
capabilities based on user preferences. As an example, one could setup
GAL "browsable" in preferences, in which case the capabilities property
had been populated with one more item, which let evolution's Contacts
view know that it can do initial search, instead of claiming "Search for
Contacts". I hope it's still doable (I didn't check it), and as such it
requires an instance of the EBookBackend descendant.
	Bye,
	Milan
