There is a Ximian Knowledge Base FAQ here:
http://support.ximian.com/cgi-bin/ximian.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_sid=QViXPS9g&p_lva=&p_refno=011207-000005&p_created=1007746373&p_sp=cF9ncmlkc29ydD0mcF9yb3dfY250PTImcF9zZWFyY2hfdGV4dD1sZGFwJnBfc2VhcmNoX3R5cGU9MyZwX3Byb2RfbHZsMT1_YW55fiZwX2NhdF9sdmwxPX5hbnl_JnBfc29ydF9ieT1kZmx0JnBfcGFnZT0x&p_li=

But that link is almost certainly going to get cut off so I'll cut and
paste:

It is possible to change the search path for address lookups in the
composer, but it isn't supported by Ximian at at this time. In fact,
there isn't a GUI yet, and this solution could change in future versions
of Evolution. Follow these instructions:

    * Exit Evolution and run the following command:

$ killev

    * Add the following line to your ~/evolution/config.xmldb:

      <section path="/Addressbook/Completion">
      <entry name="uri" type="string"
value="ldap://localhost:389/dc=toshok,dc=org??one"/>
      </section>

NOTE: Change the URL to match the addressbook URL you want to use. With
LDAP URLs it has to be formatted using the correct syntax for your
system.
