How To Search Notes Within Contacts?

I use the "Notes" field extensively in my Contacts and I've always been able to easily perform a simple text search for keywords that I place in the Notes field with all of my previous smartphones like my iPhone or Treo. How do I search for these text keywords in my new Blackberry Bold?

How do you not share contacts when having an iPad and iPhone when you share an apple ID

Presumably you mean you are sharing the same iCloud account? Except for turning off contacts on one of the devices, you can't stop sharing contacts. iCloud accounts are not designed to be shared among different people with different personal data.
You should each gave your own personal iCloud account, setup under your own individual AppleID.
You can still use the shared AppleID for the iTunes and AppStore purchases you already have though.

On a Contacts search, not all contacts appear

Hi
I have iphone 5, ios7.
Seemms very odd recently, not using groups - all contacts are displayed. But when I use the 'search' in the Contacts App, not all contacts appear. Dispite the fact that if I scroll through manually, I can see and access the very contact I was searching for. This applies to quite a few contacts without any apparent consistent link between the tricky ones.
Any ideas folks?
Many thanks

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.

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?

How do I delete a contact which is not in my contact list or anywhere else?

I need to delete contact information (email addresses and names) on my iPhone which keep coming up every time I type a remotely similar name in Mail, but isn't in my contact list.
I tried searching for the name and then the associated email address using the iPhone but came up with no result. I searched for the name and then the associated email address inside of my HP HDX-18t (Vista Ultimate 64bit) but came up with no result. I tried searching for the name and then the associated email address using the iPhone but came up with no result. I searched for the name and then the associated email address inside of my Yahoo account (using my Vista PC, not the iPhone) but came up with no result. I searched for the name and then the associated email address inside of all of my other email addresses and devices but came up with no result.
These names and the associated email addresses show up only in my iPhone and absolutely nowhere else. I tried Restoring my iPhone and that did not resolve the problem. Using the iPhone I tried going to Settings - General - Reset - Erase All Content and Settings. This did not solve the problem.
Every time I've ever sent an email to an email address and received a response from that email address that email address and name associated with the response has been stored someplace in the phone but no place else. This is a major pain because every time I try to send an email to one of my actual contacts I have to either type out their full name or flick through a stream of contacts which are not in any of my sources. This means I cannot send an email quickly (I'm using an iPhone so I should be used to a lack of speed, huh?) and am often lost in a sea of names and email addresses I cannot eliminate.
How do I get rid of this? I want all of the names and addresses which are not in any of my other locations gone! These are not even in my iPhone Contacts or even in the Sent email folders so there must be a way to delete them without their coming back!?!?!???!??!
Thanks all who answer with solutions which serve to solve the problem.

Try logging into your Yahoo account from a computer, search out the contact you are trying to delete and manually correct or delete the bad contact.
The bad information might be hidden as a second address or other contact information (or misspelled) and not be showing up on the iphone but will pull up the address anyway.
I had one old address in a contact that kept pulling up each time i tried to email him. The new address was there, but the old address was what the phone kept showing. When I edited the contact info from my computer the old address went away, and the new address started poping up.

How can I Sync same contacts within Google account & iphone, ipad?

How can I Sync same contacts within Google account & above devices?
Thanks,

Sync your iPad with computer iTunes.
Note: your contacts should be in computer Outlook (Windows) or Contacts (Mac) application.
If you have iCloud configured in iPhone, do the same for iPad.
Setttings > iCloud >
     Account: your Apple ID
     Contacts: ON
     Documents & Data: ON

Some contacts have disappeared from my phone contacts. They are still in the phone because if someone calls me their name appears and if i search in text for contacts they are still there - but if i search in phone contacts they are not there, Help

Some contacts have disappeared from my phone. Not all just random ones. They are still in the phone because if someone (who has disappeared from my phone contacts calls me their name appears and if i search in text messages for contacts they are still there - but if i search in phone contacts they are not there, Help!

But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.

How to search contacts in the new version?

What the heck Skype?!
I have hundreds of contacts.
Before I could simply go to my contacts and SEARCH!
Now? Scroll forever? Also sometimes I have like "FULL NAME MOBILE / HOME",
thats not displaying since it is too long...
As I could search before I could rule out items by typing for example "Na Ho", I would only get "FULL NAME HOME"...
Usebility is not good in this version! Let me search my contacts please?
EDIT:
Here two links, old Support Article mentiones search, new one does not.
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12082/managing-contacts-in-skype-3-2-for-android-phones#3
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12291/how-do-i-manage-my-contacts-in-skype-in-skype-4-for-android...

yes i just reported the exact same problem. this seems to be the most basic function to have a glich in it is beyond me. how can someone conduct business without being able to access their contacts?? skype is truly ridiculous when it comes to fixing bugs and is simply creating more and more problems with every version.

How can I get iOS "Contacts" to sort search results on a name-first, other-fields-next basis?

Example: I type "jo sm" into the search bar in Contacts on iOS 7, expecting John Smith and Josephine Smolens to appear at the top of the list, as they are the only ones of my contacts whose name matches the pattern "jo* sm*". Instead, they are perhaps numbers 15 and 34 on the list, as other peoples' Notes fields also contain the pattern "jo* sm*".
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

This does not answer my question. I apologize for my lack of clarity when I tried to explain the problem.
To clarify: I'm not using wild card characters; I was just trying to explain the behavior I get and how it's different from what I want. Let me try again a slightly different way:
When I type "jo sm" into the Search bar in iOS 7 Contacts, I want the first results to be the people whose First Name starts with (or even just contains) "jo" and whose Last Name starts with (or contains) "sm".
Instead, I get all contacts whose Notes contain the letters "jo" and "sm" anywhere at all (which is many many people), and they are given to me in an order that seems random. Therefore, when I type "jo sm", I don't see the contact I'm looking for because he/she is routinely three pages down the list.
Thanks in advance!
