You will probably have to add something in the note section of all the contacts that you want to have in the smart group. At least that's how I read it.
Smart Groups are group addresses that Address Book automatically updates with new contacts when they fit the criteria you've specified for that group. For example, if you create a Smart Group for all the members of your swim club by searching for "swim" in the Note field, then every time you add or change a contact and put "swim" in the Note field, that contact is automatically added to your swim club Smart Group.

"Choose File > New Smart Group.
Enter a name for the group.
Use the pop-up menus and entry field to specify the search criteria for the group. Click the Add (+) button to refine your search with additional criteria.
Select "Highlight group when updated" if you want to see when Address Book adds or removes a contact from the group.
You can also create a Smart Group by entering a word or phrase in the search field in the upper-right corner of the Address Book window, then choosing "Save Search" from the Action pop-up menu near the upper-left corner of the Address Book window.
To edit a Smart Group, select the item in the Group column and choose Edit > Edit Smart Group.
To rename a Smart Group, double-click the name in the Group column and enter the new name."
