Contact Search on nokia E7

Didn't realised it after a few days that my E7 doesnt have a contact search.
I tried the user guide, the onboard help and followed the instruction to the letter.
"In the home screen, open the keyboard, and start entering the contact's first or second
name. You can also search by company name."
I tried that and there is nothing. Tried searching all my menus, options and settings yet I cannot find the elusive contact search
Kindly guide me to the right way to activate the contact search on my E7
thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

To do a contact search without having the contacts shortcut on your homescreen, press call and start typing the contacts name 3283 will produce all the DAVE contacts on your phone, as an alternative tap the icon in the bottom right corner and you are taken into a contacts list which you can scroll through or search. As another alternative use the 'favourite contacts' widget on homescreen and load your favourite contacts to it and swipe through them to find the person you want to call.
As a further alternative, usr the search widget on a homescreen and type in the name you want to find and search my content.
Appologies if this doesn't answer your question as these are the only methods for finding a contact on the E7 that I have discovered so far, hope this helps

  • Nokia c7 "Smart Dial" or "Contact Search" on Dial ...

    Anyone out there? Who can help.... Desperately need help on this.
    You know on the dial screen you start hitting the numbers and your Nokia will find the best matching contacts... called the "Smart dial" or "Contacts Search"... My C7 doesn't have that feature.
    I have looked at the manual and it says, click options>contact search>off/on ....
    Well I don't have such an option in anywhere.
    This is really annoying me, I love this feature and that is the only way I am going to manage my 500+ contacts.
    Someone help!

    I have that feature on my C7-00. Y-day I also updated my phone app to the latest version and the feature is still there. Pressing OPTIONS on the call screen lets me select the Contact Search ON/OFF.
    Works very smooth...

  • Nokia 5800 contacts search problem after phone swi...

    Recently bought a new 5800. Used Phone Switch to retrieve contacts from older Nokia, seemed to work ok.
    The problem is that ALL NEW contacts added to 5800 memory appear BELOW the contacts list (not sorted) AND cannot be found via contact search. This is very annoying. How can this be fixed?
    Thanks.

    It sometimes does this.
    Unlock the phone, go into the messaging and come back out again.
    The "new message" notification should stop now.

  • 808 Pureview contact search not working

    Hi, i am unable to get contact search to work even after enabling it on the call screen. adaptive search under settings has also been turned on. can someone help?

    Try the soft reset and if that does not help, do a hard reset. But remember to back up your device with Nokia suite.
    Hard Reset: 
    Once backed up, enter *#7370# and when prompted, enter 12345 as the default passcode.
    Hope this helps.

  • N6700 slide / Contact search in Contacts and Adres...

    Hallo!
    I bought Nokia 6700 slide last week. After the first setup of the exchange mail the contact search worked perfectly: when I started (in Menu/Contacts) to write a name and it was not found in contacts of my phone, nokia immediately offered the possibility to search on exchange server and in same screen returned the found contact (if any).
    Now, after yesterday´s nokia sw actualization (current version 061.004, 20-Oct-2010; User version 061.004.327.02, 14-Dec-2010) this possibility completely disappeared!
    When I now start to write a name and it is not found in contacts of the phone, nokia returns "(žádné shody)" (I have czech language version; in English it means something like "no records found") ...and that´s all. I must then go to Menu\Application\Email\Adresář (Adresář="Adress book") and write the wanted contact in the "Search in Mail for Exchange" field. Contact is then found (if any), so I think that my Exchange mail is configured correctly. Is there any possibility how to get the search function back as it worked before SW actualization (search in Contacts and Adress book in one step)? Thanks for any advice. Vera

    Ah yes, reboot had been tried but to no avail.
    Before doing a soft reset I take screen grabs of my homescreens which will make things easy to get back to how I want them.
    Doing #7780 soft reset now...
    ...done.
    Ah! Messaging threads now show my contacts and their thumbnails  
    Brill!  Contact Search in dialler is also fixed.
    @no1_slumko Thanks!! Have *stared* you.

  • How can i tranfer contacts from my nokia to my iphone?

    How do i transfer contacts from my nokia E72 to my iphone4?

    If a GSM phone and contacts are stored on the SIM card, the iPhone includes an import contacts from a SIM card option with a SIM card used with another cell phone with contacts stored on the SIM card.
    Or if Nokia includes software for syncing contacts with a address book app on your computer that is supported for syncing contacts with the iPhone, or if Nokia includes an option for getting the contacts on your computer in a format that is supported for import by an address book app on your computer that is supported for syncing contacts with your iPhone, you can do that.

  • Passing result list from Contact search to Target group

    Hi,
    I have to pass the result list of Contact serch(BP_CONT_SEARCH) to Target group creation component(SEGED_TG). Can you give me the steps that I need to follow.
    Note: Here the contact structure is different in each component.
    Thanks.

    Yes Srikanth, you need to bind context of result list to SEGED_TG using component controller binding. Let me know if you have questions.
    But the question is did you make a navigation from the contact search result to target group creation or is it a standard functionality ?
    As per my knowledge we can navigate from Profile set creation creation screen or from Trade Promotions.

  • How can I get a backup of Contacts from my Nokia L...

    I Have a Nokia Lumia 900 and I'm also planning on buying another phone (not nokia), as I have all my contacts on my Nokia Lumia I want to get the all the contacts to my PC for later use. Is there a simple way of doing this Please HELP?

    If your intention is to be able to use the contacts on your pc and not just as a backup then synching with Outlook is probably your best bet. Have a look at the link below for more information.

  • The chat contacts search functionality is missing

    I have configured the chat in thunderbird. It looks well and better but when I searched for a specific contact in my list of contacts(more than 300) by name or Username, I am unable to search the contact and I found it manually.
    If there is any addon/extension for chat contact search, Please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Jayanti

    I can see nothing.
    Look here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/
    Perhaps instant bird is a better fit to your needs. http://instantbird.com/

  • Contact search process

    Hello All,
    I am trying to understand the process of contact search.
    Is it correct that the normal behavior would be:
    - search in Lync adress book (by default in local GalContacts.db)
    - search in Exchange GAL (via EWS)
    - search for personal contacts on Exchange (via EWS)
    and then do a merge of these?
    And should the filters applied via ABSconfig also apply to contacts found via Exchange GAL (in my situation that doesn't seem to be the case...)?
    I am also seeing a different behavior on Lync 2013 (15.0.4711.1002) and Lync for Mac (14.0.11). Is it possible that Lync for Mac doesn't look in Exchange GAL when doing a search?
    Thanks in advance for the reponses, I am quite confused regarding this whole search process and cannot find much information about it.
    Gael

    I stand corrected. I just read this technet article, https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg429711%28v=ocs.15%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
    It seems Lync 2013 gives you results for users that are not SIP enabled as well. It can be changed though. Check the above article on how to limit your search to only SIP enabled users.
    "While having full contact records in the Address Book files enables you to use Lync Server to initiate email, telephone,
    or Enterprise Voice calls (that is, if Enterprise Voice is enabled on the server) with users that are not configured for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), some organizations prefer to include only SIP-enabled users in their Address Book Server entries."

  • Where is the Contacts Search feature?

    I have over 4,000 contacts in my list. I need to be able to search for contacts based on information in other fields besides first and last name. Where can I find the Contacts Search/Spotlight input field or equivalent?

    ** BUMP **
    I notice that all the reviews are highlighting how easy it is to SCROLL (browse) the contacts list in the Phone Book, I have yet to figure out how to SEARCH the contacts list. It seems like you can do this when you're entering a Text Message recipient (or, for that matter, addressing an email message), so clearly the ability to perform a "lookup" action is there, but either it's not implemented in the Phone application, or I'm just blind.
    So, to illustrate: Right now, I've sorted my Phone contacts by last name. Suppose I want to call "Michael" but I don't know his last name. In Mac OS X (along with the really good smartphones), I would typically be able to enter his first name and have all the Micahels in my contacts list show up. Not only that, I'd also get search results for anyone who worked for a company called "Michael", or even someone who had "Michael" in their notes field (perhaps I'm looking for "Michael's Secretary"?)
    I hope Apple is paying attention, because something as simple as a contact search REALLY ought to be part of their inevitable 1.1 release!!

  • Anyone tried to get Jabber to work with Domino for contact search

                       I have a customer who has recently upgraded to CUCM 8.6.2.22900-9 and Presence 8.6.4.11900-1 fom CUCM 6.x and Presence 6.x. When they were at 6.x they were able to integrate CUPC contact search with Domino server. I realize this was not supported, but they got it to work. Now they want to attempt to get Jabber to work with Domino. Again I realize that is not a supported LDAP for Jabber, but I was wondering if anyone has perhaps tried this and what their experience was.
