Contacts search not working

On my 4s the search feature within contacts doesn't work, every search returns no results. I think it started when I upgraded to ios5 but I'm not quite sure, it's been a while. It used to work.
The spotlight search works and I've tried deselecting all options in it except contacts.
Any ideas how to fx this please?

Thanks for the quick reply :)
The search doesn't work even if I put in a name exactly as its listed. It used to be for example if I typed 'A' then all the names starting with 'A' would list but now I get nothing.

  • 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.

  • Contact Search Not Working

    Today my search window in my contact folder stopped working all together.  I've followed some of the suggested fixes here, deleting all contacts from Mac, re-synching from iCloud, etc.  There has been no change.  Any help?

    Just to add to my previous message that I restarted and attempted to reboot several times. I say "attempted" because when I hold down both the on/off and main button to restart, the Apple logo appears and then the screen goes dark. The second logo does not appear... ever. But if I just hold down the on/off button, it will start up without problem.

  • BBM contact search not working with specific letter

    HI guys,
    I have a very strange problem with my Q10 BBM.
    I sorted my contacts into group/list.
    1. Problem: if I start to scroll from the beginning the BBM shut down when I arrive at the letter "L" within one group.
    2. Problem: if I want to see all contact and than I put the letter "M, L, I or H" to find fast the contact I need the BBM shut down again,
    I have done a software update and changed the devise as well but as well on my 2nd devise the same problem appears.
    Anybody has an idea what it could be?
    Regards

    Hi Slava,
    What version of software do you currently have installed on your BlackBerry Q10? Also, can I confirm your wireless provider is T-Mobile Australia?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support  (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

  • Search not working on Task Description

    Hi,
    I am facing a strange scenario with search not working on Task Description for a particular task item. This task item has around 18 versions of itself within it.
    I tried replicating the same scenario in our Test environment with following changes in the task item description:
    1. Copied the task list over to Test environment.
    2. Deleted all the versions of this task and put a single line description as.
    3. Initiated full crawl and search results with task description were
    coming up fine.
    4. Made few more versions : 5 Versions and again initiated full craw. Search results are fine.
    5. Made few more versions this time and again a FULL crawl, but now NO results with this task description.
    So, my question here is that is there any limit by MS for multiline text limit or version limit which prevents the task description from coming up in search results. 
    This task description as multiple line text with links to other lists/libraries and user names who created the versions in this task item. We are not using FAST search.

    I found the answer elsewhere on the forum:
    Somehow the main drive was added to the privacy list in Spotlight. Search is working fine now that I've removed it.

  • Archive folder missing from Mail & search not working

    I've been having trouble getting the Archive mailbox to appear in Mail. What's worse, often the search function is broken, and Mail doesn't turn up any search results. I've found some ways to get the Archive folder to reappear, but these only seem to help temporarily. For instance, clicking on the gear at the bottom left and selecting "Get Account Info" then selecting the Archive folder causes it to reappear, but this is only temporary and it disappears after another restart or sometimes after an hour or two. The search not working is the worst, as it sometimes is working and sometimes isn't. I don't have any idea what's causing this, but I am at my wit's end because I NEED Mail to be firing on all cylinders.

    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
    What are your selections in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced for this Gmail account, if using IMAP, regarding keeping message for Offline use? The Mail search can only access the list of messages to search Subject, From, etc, but not the entire message unless copies of all messages are being kept on the computer. This would be true for any IMAP account, btw.
    More info, please.

  • Mail search not working + Spotlight keeps indexing

    I have an old problem that has resurfaced after creating a new user on my Mac. Mail search brings no results and Spotlight is constantly indexing - day in, day out. It never seems to get there. I tried turning my hard drive to private in Spotlight settings and then taking it out. Previously Spotlight seemed to get bogged down with external drives now it's stuck indexing my Mac.
    Any advice? Is there a way I get unstick this?

    I can't believe that Apple have STILL not sorted this out. I haven't created a new user (so it's nothing to do with that), but Mail.app won't find anything when searching "Entire Message" in the current Mailbox or in "All Mailboxes". This has been ongoing since Leopard was first released, and we are now up to 10.5.8 without this being fixed.

  • Knowledge Search not working in Win client

    hi there
    i have a problem with knowledge search not working in IC Win Client in CRM version 5.0
    i guess the problem is with the workspace that is IIA for solution search that is assigned against the knowledge search
    please tell what should i do as right now when i am trying to execute it or open the knowledge search dump is coming  stating null object referenced
    i wonder what could be the solution
    best regards
    ashish

    Hello ashish,
    I had that problem too. You have to apply note 1002299 to restore missing configurations in SAF.
    Also, if you worked with IIA in previous versions, take a look at note 656321 to check it's evolution (replacement by SAF).
    Good luck and Kind regards,

  • Launchpad search not working mavericks

    Search not working on mavericks under launchpad. Normally you can click into the search bar on launchpad, or just start typing to filter/find. Under mavericks I can no longer do this. The search bar is inert, does not respond to typing or clicking with mouse. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

    Just fixed the same problem by restarting the dock process which Launch Pad is apparently connected to.
    Terminal command:
    killall Dock

  • I had somebody  work on my OS 10.9.2 to speed it up. He failed and now  Preview, Textedit, App Store, Mail and Contacts  do not work anymore. I can still use Safari, Firefox and iPhoto etc. How do I get it fix I can still use Safari, Firefox and ed again?

    I had somebody  work on my OS 10.9.2 to speed it up. He failed and now  Preview, Textedit, App Store, Mail (crashes) and Contacts  do not work anymore. I can still use Safari, Firefox, Word, Photoshop and iPhoto etc. How do I get the Apple programs fixed again?

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
         computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
         screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
