If it really is just an interface for a search then something simple, like a wget and a parser could be thrown together as a script and called from an open application, like recaller or espeakcaller.
It's a closed application so you'd have to reverse engineer it a little to figure how it communicates at the back end.

In addition to various on line phone books (which you can buy access to) the application also shares your number and details with the collective - thus increasing the pool by however many people opt in to that particular feature.
