I use radio headers in my contacts data base, like:
* <<<Alice>>>
* <<<Bob>>> (Alice's brother)
org-contacts was presenting the names with <<< before, so you needed to type <<< to match them. I attach a patch to remove this particular formatting before presenting the completions; in this way you can match them by Al or B
Removing bold/italic/underline/pre is harder. If there is any better function to remove formatting, please use it.

Hi Daniel,
thanks for the patch.

(I'd suggest ̀org-contacts-cleanup-name' instead of
`org-contacts-format-name'.)
Also, let's carefully check that such cleanups don't
slow down things -- I'm not using org-contacts (yet)
but I remember speed can be a problem with big database.
Thanks,
