Contacts search function

Any idea when contact search will be available? It would be great if one could search contacts as easy as in Address Book.

Good Idea! But Apple may never hear of it unless you submit it!

P.S. Remember, Apple dosen't look at these forums, so make sure to submit ideas to the above link!!

Where's the Contact search function?!

I updated my iPhone to 2.02 already, but can't find where's the contact search function.

To quickly move to the top of your contact list, tap on the menu bar for lack of a better term.
Doesn't work for me. Had to revert to ordinary finger-scrolling.

Contact search function not found

I've definitely upgraded to iPhone 2.0. I am not finding the search function (I don't see a search field) when I access my contacts through the Phone icon, Contacts tab.
When I use the Contacts icon, I also don't see a search field. I tried tapping the top of the screen thinking that would make it appear but it doesn't. Mysterious, or am I missing something basic here?

Matcha,
Did you try using the scroll function on the right (all the letters) and go all the way up to the top? There's a little magnifying glass icon above the "a" and when you get up that high, you should see the search field pop into view at the top.
Hope this helps.

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/

How do I get search typing for Contacts Search function on Iphone with 2.0?

An ad for 2.0 iphone update says:
"Contacts Search
Have a lot of names in your address book? Type a name into the new Contacts search field and iPhone shows you matching names."
Now I have 2.0 and can't find a way to get into the Contacts search field. Anyone having better luck with that? Please help.

Did you just install 2.0? Is your contact list showing you your first entry when you open it? Try scrolling up to the top of your list.

Spotlight Search/Contact Search

Appears that Apple is misleading what the spotlight and contact search function can do on the 3.0 software update. First, spotlight will not search the content of emails.... just the header/title. Secondly, neither spotlight nor contact search will search all the fields in a contact. Just raised this issue through a one-on-one session at a local apple store, and all the employees in the store were surprised as they too thought the 3.0 update would do this. It's abt setting expectations and delivering. At the 12:10 mark on the Apple online video, there is discussion abt the search function, and it leads one to believe that all the fields in contacts are searched. Very disappointed as I've 3,000+ contacts and will not remember all the names/company names. Are there any applications that will search all fields in a contact... including the note field? This is my first iPhone. Thanks.

I have sent messages to Apple Feedback requesting true Spotlight search in Contacts. I have been very frustrated that the iPhone still cannot perform a search that equals what my first Palm PDA could provide. MobileMe does not provide a workaround because the search feature in MobileMe does not look in the Notes field.
Today I discovered an iPhone App that searches the "Notes" and other fields in Contacts! Contact Tool from Alessandro Levi Montalcini. While not perfect, because it is a little slow, but it does work. A well spent $1.99 for a feature that Apple should be providing.

E71 Contact search problem

My contact search function on E71 is ok, just that I can't call out 2 entries in contacts.
1) 1Jen
2) BJ
As these 2 names's second character is "J" it is also "#" and the first character are also with numbers. That is why the home screen showed
1) 1#
2) 8#
And it gave me the phone numbers which was the 1st and 8th stored on my SIM card contact.
I used to be able to call them without such problem. Only experience this today.
Does anyone know how to turn off SIM contact reading?
Rgds,
DB

Firstly, open up each contact in turn and select Options>Play voice tag - this will tell you how the phone interprets the name. As you are using abbreviations, the voice recognition system may be interpreting the text strangely.
It is also possible that the problemis caused by the shortness of the name. Often, it is better to have a full name (eg: Marcus de Bruyn) instead of a shorter form (eg: Marc) because when you say a name with more syllables you give the recognition system more data to work with in comparing with your contacts.

N73 - trouble with search function for the contact...

Hi, i just bought a N73 series phone. i noticed that N73 search function for the contact list is different from others standard. Normally, it should show the 1st contact of the 1st letter that i pressed instead of the contact contains the letter. I found difficulties to look for the contact unless i press 3 or 4 letters. is there any setting can be changed to order search function only search the contacts with the 1st letter that i pressed instead of the letter in middle of the contact?
For example:
ang on
office
when i pressed "o", the contact will search for "ang on" instead of "office" unless i press few more letters like "off".
hope to get some help from you guys.

I found the same problem as this with all my S60 3rd edition phones, what I have done is in my contacts put a hyphen (-)in between the name - i.e Joe Blogs would come us under searches for J & B, so try putting Joe-Bloggs, this way, the search will only come up with all the J's in your phone book directory.
Hope this helps, DLJ

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Unified contacts feature crashes search function..IOS4

Every time I search using spotlight for a contact and it uses the unified contact feature to join contacts together, it crashes the search function. I get a white screen and then after awhile, it crashes and goes back to the home screen. The 2nd try works. Hope this gets fixed soon. This is with a 3GS.

Hi,
It sounds like some of the software may have become corrupted. I would try to wipe the data from your device and then reload or Operating System (OS) software. To do this, follow the instructions found at http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry and your contacts should start working like it is supposed to work.

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.

In OS Yosemite the search function in Mail, Finder, Spotlight- does not work

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
2,6 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
OS Yosemite,
Finder versión 10.10.1
Mail Versión 8.1 (1993)
In OS Yosemite the search function in Mail, Finder, Spotlight… does not work. Messages or documents with the search criteria are there and one could find them manually, but the search function fails to find them. Following advice from Apple Support (728965377):
1. I applied an Apple protocol for adware removal (Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac); I had none, because I had formally utilized a similar protocol that I had found in Internet, actually an app that implemented automatically Apple's adware removal protocol.
2. I rebuild the post boxes in Mail (Mail (Yosemite): Reconstruir buzones); It took a while but it functioned properly
3. I re-install the System (OS X Yosemite: Reinstalar OS X); It took about 4 hours but there was no problem whatsoever with the installation.
Afterwards I searched for messages in Mail, and documents in Finder and Spotlight, without any difficulty. The search function in all of them was working properly. But the next time that I needed to search messages or documents, an hour later or so, the problem reappear and a couple of new issues occurred:
1. in app RagTime 6.5.2 (Build 1821), www.ragtime.de, the menu bar disappears (it is invisible), when one performs certain operations, e. g., calculating a value with a formula, whether it is in a spreadsheet or some other component (text, drawing, etc.). After touching with the cursor the menu bar is visible again.
2. after reading an e-mail in Mail or copying an address, this is seeing as a floating object in the finder and over every application. There is no logical way to get rid of the floating object and neither copying or deleting or cutting it. It is not a big issue but nonetheless bothersome.
3. In Mail, messages with Flag or in VIP contacts cannot be seen in the appropriate folders, only in the Incoming mail folder, together with other messages. It seems to me, this issue is part of same search function problem.
4. The preview function within Mail does not show the attached documents to a message, whether it is in the IN, OUT or Draft boxes.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try again to re-index Spotlight. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.

Why is the contact search different when accessed from the 'phone' app vs. the 'contact' app?

When I have the phone open and I want to select a new contact to call I have to use the search function, find the contact, find the number i wish to call, call.
before I could just scroll through to find the one i want, select the number and the call would be made. (as you do if you open the contacts app) can I change this back?

Perhaps you have 2 or more contacts with the same phone number? If you do anything that displays the name associated with a phone number will chose at random.

Search function in the Adobe Viewer

Hey there,
i have the follow problems with de Adobe digital Publishing suite.
Our company will present our costumers a catalog with the digital publishing suite for free. But we have so many questions about the FOLIO and the Adobe viewer and we need some replys quickly
First off all is it impossible to search in a FOLIO with the adobe viewer.
The adobe support cant answer these question because we have no buy a digital publishing suite edition.
Only we have buyed the Edition we become an answer from the support but we need these information before we buy an edition.
Can someone help me quickly
Thanks for your informations

If you have the answer we’re all ears. My guess is anything with a search function was done totally with HTML.
Finally, this is a user to user forum. While it’s probably the most monitored I know of by Adobe employees, it’s not really an official contact mechanism.
