BBDB (version 3) search at point or for selected text

Question

I'd like to start a BBDB search directly with the word at the current cursor point or with the current selection. Is there already a short-cut or at least a function for these functionalities?

Answer 1

I don't think this functionality is already implemented.

AFAICS the functionality is provided e.g. by

(defun bbdb-word-at-point ()
  "Ask bbdb about word at point."
  (interactive)
  (bbdb (thing-at-point 'word t)))
