Well, I can't seem to get what you are missing apart from the feature
you asked but let me try explaining how I use BBDB; if that is of any
help to you.

When reading mail in the summary buffer hitting ';' prompts me to add
the name if it does not already exists.

C-c b asks me for a regex to search the BBDB and it shows the matches
in another buffer.  If that buffer is made the focus, hitting C-h m
will show all the keys you can use to edit/add names, aliases and
such. 

I seem to have the following customisations all over the place
;;in .emacs
 '(bbdb-get-addresses-headers (quote ((authors "From" "Resent-From" "Reply-To") 
(recipients "Resent-To" "Resent-CC" "To" "Cc" "CC" "BCC"))))
 '(bbdb-get-only-first-address-p nil)
 '(bbdb-info-file "c:/gnu/elisp/bbdb-2.35/texinfo/bbdb.info")

;;;;BBDB in .gnus.el

Have you had a chance to look at the info file?
