Quick contact search on the N97?

Hi all,  
I must be partially daft, but for the life of me, I can't find any way to quick-search contacts. When I go to the dialpad, dialing a number doesn't bring up any contacts; and attempting to press any keyboard buttons (i.e. "M" for "Michael") does absolutely nothing either.
I am sure I must be missing something. Could anybody suggest what I'm doing wrong? 
And, if the N97 doesn't support that - any recommendations on software I should look at? It's rather silly, really.
Thanks.

Yeah, I saw that, but that's 3 taps to even START searching. What if I know part of a phone number, and just want to type 555 to get a list of all phone numbers with 555 in them? Or what if I want to open the slider, and start typing "m-i-c-h" to get all Michaels? My E71 worked exactly like that, so I'm confused as to why it's so complicated on the N97.
Is there any aftermarket software that simplifies this?

  • Limit contact searches based on the mailbox?

    When composing mail, is there a way to limit the contact search to the particular mail account I'm using?
    For example, I have a work account, yahoo, and gmail.  All 3 have completely separate contacts and don't need to see hits across all accounts.

  • Help solve these issues with the n97

    Owner of a black N97. Software ver.: V.11.0.021(.238.01) - 19.06.2009
    Type: RM-505
    The issues I have.
    1. The alarm clock sometimes goes off 3-4-5 min, later than it was set. Ex. set alarm for 8am, and it goes off at 8:04, 8:05.
    2. Contacts. Prev. I had the E50. I have all my contacts now in the N97's mem, so no numbers/contacts are on the sim card. The problem. I have a contact that has multiple phone numbers. When I get a call from the person neither the name or the picture assigned to her will show up, just the number. **bleep**? 600 euro phone
    3. I left the phone to charge at night. I wake up in the morning it shows 2 bars. I restart the phone it shows fully charged (7 bars).
    4. Laggy orientation issues, sometimes the phone can't make up it's mind in what mode it should be.
    5. Sometimes the keyguard switch doesn't do it's job, have to slide it 2-3 times. For example, you have the screen locked. You slide the camera's protective cover. You use the keyguard switch.... once, nothing happens. You have to slide it again (2-3) times so it finally unlocks the screen/keys.
    6. Once I turned on the cam, video mode, lights on (used the phone's leds as a ligh in the night, walked for about 10 min. like this and the next thing I know when I want to turn it off.... the phone doesn't respond, freezed up, had to turn off, and when I did I had the nokia logo and an ugly red line across the screen, turned it back on, worked again....
    Sorry if I ask/talk about things that have been discussed/solved before.
    Hope to get feedback from someone on the issues I have especially for the contacts issue and if maybe somebody could tell me what dimentions does the caller id image should be so that I have no issues with it?
    Thanks in advance.
    (PS: Despite the issues I ran into even after I updated from v.10 to v.11 I like the phone and I really hope that newer software updates will solve the issues we have. BTW I advise you all not to use themes. Altho I am a big customization fanatic myself, my old E50 teached me a lesson. If it's not nokias shipped with the device theme, it's gonna cause you problems. No more will I install and use custom themes. It just makes your phone crash and do very very weird things. (and the themes I used were from babinokia not just some hillbilly site). One of my big dissapointments with the E50 was that I could not change / set a custom image as fullscreen wallpaper. It only showed a cropped version of the image on the middle of the screen. In order to change the wallpaper u had to find a theme.)

    Upgrade to V12? Might help on some issues.
    As for the contacts problem, I can report that it works fine for me, and I have several numbers on most of my contacts.
    This problem is usually because the same number exists on more than one contact. Unfortunately I haven't found a way to actually search for which contacts might have a number, so the only sugegstion I can offer is that you search through every entry in your phone book, and see if you can't find the same number on more than one contact.
    Don't forget to also check the entries on the SIM card, especially if you have set th phone to use both phone and SIM.

  • Quick Contacts

    I was having problems adding a picture to my Dad's profile (in my contact list) so I accidentally deleted him from my quick contact list (like the 1-touch call screen) and I can't seem to add it back again. When I try to, it adds him as a really big contact icon and not the same size of the regular ones. Does this make any sense to anyone?
     Please if anyone knows how to add a contact in a normal size, let me know. Thanks

    There are two ways to add a contact, and each way has a different size icon for that contact. The first way is to tap and hold on an empty space until the pop up menu comes up. Scroll down to Contact Quick task, select your contact and what you want to add to it. This is a large icon which you can shrink. The second way is to go to shortcuts>contact and select the one(s) you want. These are small. Let me know if this worked for you.

  • Where's the Contact search function?!

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

    Doesn't work for me. Had to revert to ordinary finger-scrolling.

  • BUG: Searching for the word "united" in Contacts returns far too many results

    To recreate this bug:
    1. I open the Contacts App on my iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0.1.
    2. In the search field within the app, I search for the word "united." (For example, if I am trying to located the address book card for United Airlines).
    3. Instead of showing me just the results of companies/people that have the word "united" in their name or notes field, the app returns almost every single one of my contacts as a search result, EVEN THOUGH THESE PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE THE WORD "UNITED" IN THEIR NAME, DESCRIPTION, OR NOTES FIELD.
    I think this might be happening because I have used the iOS feature of connecting my Contact App with Facebook.  Because of this, many of my contacts have the word "unified contact info" in their description. Although this doesn't entirely explain why searching for the word "united" would show "unified contact info" contacts, the Facebook/Contacts App connection may have something to do with this bug.
    Regardless, if I search for the word "united" on my iPhone, the Contact App still returns almost every single contact as a search result, even though the word "united" cannot be found within those contacts.

    I think it is because the system adds "United States of America" to every address by default.
    You need to search using different parameters, for example, "Airlines".

  • 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,

    I can see nothing.

  • How do I search all Contacts fields in the Q5 with OS10.2?

    Blackberry appear to be advancing backwards with their new Q5 and 10.2 operating system. I originally bought the Blackberry specifically for its ability to search into the notes field of email contacts, which no other phone could do at the time. When the operating system was "upgraded" to OS7 I was disappointed to find out that the Blackberry Search was no longer able to access the Contacts Notes field. But then I discovered the "OldSearch" app. This app replicated the old search functionality and I have been using it on my 9790 quite happily for the past two years. However, when the time came to renew my contract this year I made the BIG MISTAKE of assuming that the Q5 with its OS 10.2 would be a big step forward. I was VERY DISAPPOINTED. Once again the Blackberry search function could not search the notes field of Contacts but, worst of all, OldSearch cannot run on OS 10.2. After four days trying to persevere with the new menu format and combined with the search problem I decided to give up and hand the Q5 back. I have subsequently found out that most cell phones now have the facility to search into the Contacts notes, including the Samsung Galaxy and the iPhone. So, reluctantly, I say bye-bye Blackberry, hello Samsung S4.

    So, you're not really asking how to search contacts notes on the device. You just came to tell us you switched to to the S4.
    Good luck!

  • 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!!

  • Where do I find the new application "Contact Search"

    I would like to load the new "Contact Search" feature into my old iphone. Where do I find it?? Is it compatible with my original iphone?

    It comes with the 2.0 update. If you've updated already, you should have it.
    you just go into your contact list and at the top it will have where you can search.
