mac mail search copy/paste email address

We upgraded from 10.5.8 to 10.6.6. Before upgrading we could copy an email address from an email header and paste it in the mac mail search bar and it would automatically only paste the email address, now it pastes the email address and <quoted> name with it, for example, before it would paste: "john@me.com" , now it pastes: "John Doe < john@me.com<john@me.com> >"

Unfortunately, the mac mail search is useless until manually deleting the extra text. I'm sure there is a simple option in preferences to fix this, however, I've looked high and low and would very much appreciate some assistance. Thank you!

It only should find and add the name if it's in your Address Book, or in the previous recipients in Mail.
If it's in the previous recipients in Mail, you can clear those from Mail.
