Search contacts by address

How do I search my contacts by address, not name?

Hi James,
I did notice that. I would not be able to test it , until day after tomorrow. Perhaps I should have explained it in more detail.
Look in this message Re: Contacts by Email address search
for the code.
Here I have used <b>LOWER(ADR_NAME)</b> on the left hand side of the equal to('=') sign, therefore all the results obtained from the database will be first converted to lowercase and then compared with your string. I do not think this will work in Open SQL, so you have to try native SQL.
Let us know if that worked. I am crossing my fingers.
Regards,
Subramanian V.
P.S. - Next time I shall make sure I will test the code and send it to you

Searching Contacts by Address Data

Hi,
Is there a way to search contacts based on their address information? Example: I know I met someone in Vernon, NJ and entered that information in their address field for their contact entry on my phone but don't remember their name. Is there a way to search contacts via that field?
Thanks in advance for any help!

The easiest way I can think of is just go online into your GOOGLE (Gmail) account and click on CONTACTS ... the Addresses for your contacts will display there - not Searchable, but all visible and you can scroll down through your list of Contacts. Don't know of an easy way to do this on the phone itself ...

No Contacts or Address Book app

My new iPhone doesn't have an icon for Contacts (or Address Book). Is that something I have to add myself? That seems odd. I can see contacts if I set out to create a message, but don't see any way to pull up a list of contacts right from the start. User error, I'm sure.

Swipe down on the home screen and type Contacts in the search field. If it is on the device (and it should be) it will show up, and if it is in a folder, will tell which one. Assuming it does show up in the search, go back tot he home screen and swipe left-right to see your alternate screens and locate it.

The search feature in Address Book no longer works

I have over 2,400 contacts. For no apparent reason the search feature in my Apple Address Book no longer works. The Address Book app has quit several times recently, again for no apparent reason. It is probably unrelated, but Preview has also been quitting. I have repaired permissions and used Disk Warrior 4.4 to rebuild the directory. Any thoughts?

That was a while back...after a little research to jog my memory, it had to do with iCloud. I found this on another page, and I think this is what I did to fix it:
"I had the same problem and fixed it a slightly different (and probably safer) way:
Backup your Address Book - File > Export > Address Book Archive
Go into preferences > iCloud - untick syncing for Contacts
When it asks you, tell it to delete the contacts from your local Mac (all your local address cards will be deleted but they will still be in iCloud)
All your cards should now be deleted from Address Book on your Mac
Quit Address Book
Go into preferences > iCloud - tick syncing for Contacts (this will download your contacts into Address Book again)
Open Address Book and after a few secs you should see all your cards and the problem should be fixed"
The important part is to be sure to export your Address Book before doing anything. I think I ended up afater deleting all the cards and quitting address book, I reimported them from the backup I exported. Has been fine since. This is pretty safe as long as you have that exported file.

Unable to send mail to importet contacts via address book

Hi all,
I've searched the web without finding a solution to my issue with one of my users, so I had to create my own thread.
My issue is that one of my newly employed users importet a large amount of contacts (over 3000) from his previous workplace (which worked after a little trouble via manually importing a .pst file), but when he tries to add contacts to a mail via address
book and send the mail, he receives a mail back with "the following recipient(s) cannot be reached"
I can resolve the issue by copying the mail address, under the contacts profile, and pasting it in the "Email" field, basically retyping the same mail. The mail will then go through without any return mail stating the above error. I could do the
same for all 3000 contacts, BUT that is a lot of time needed, which I would really like to avoid.
We are running Exchange 2010 and Office 2013.
I'm hoping for a fix from one of the clever minds in here!
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Does the issue happen when sending mails to all these 3000 contacts? Please send test message by adding other contacts to a mail via Contacts in Address Book to check whether the issue can be reproduced.
Please make sure the latest patches and service packs are installed for your Outlook 2013. Additionally, please try the following test to narrow down the issue:
1. Please switch to People panel in Outlook, click a imported contact, click Email in HOME tab. Then send a message to check whether this message can be sent successfully.
2. Please open the Contact PST file in Outlook instead of import PST file. Then do step 1 to send test message and check whether the issue persists.
If the issue doesn’t happen when sending message to contacts in opened PST file, it indicates the Contacts which is saved in the PST file should be correct. The issue may be related to Contact resolved in Outlook client. Please create a new Outlook contact
or create a new Outlook profile to have a try.

Can you add the contact by searching the SIP address?
Please check if the files GalContacts.db and GalContacts.db.idx are updated in Lync users’ profile folder.
I guess these files are not updated.
If this issue happens with several Lync users, you can copy these two files form users’ profile folder to replace the ones in problem Lync users’ profile folder to confirm that.
Try to run the command Set-CsClientPolicy –Identity -AddressBookAvailability WebSearchOnly, then sign out Lync for Mac and sign in, check if you can search the contacts.

When typing in a search in the address bar i get redirected to a search assist by Teoma. How can i stop this

Normally when i type a subject into the address bar i get sent to a website that deals with that subject. For example if i typed in "Iron Man" in the address bar then i would be sent to a movie website with iron man details. Now when i type in a subject on the address bar i get redirected to a search assist website powered by Teoma. I haven't changed my default search and I've never even heard of Teoma so I really cant stand that i get redirected there. if i cant get rid of it then i am getting rid of firefox all together because that was the one feature that it had over internet explorer that really mattered to me. How do i change that

I believe I've figured this out. You probably don't have a virus and there may not be much you can do. What is probably happening here is that the DNS provided by your ISP is trapping the request and redirecting you to the teoma server (run by ask.com).
When you enter "flurdl" into the address bar, first the browser (& network stack) tries to resolve it as a host name into an ip address, by contacting the DNS server. If it resolves to an ip address, the connection proceeds. If DNS replies there is no such host, the browser passes it onto your search provider to perform a search.
Your ISP has cut a deal with teoma such that when there is no host, instead of returning that, they return the teoma address. Your browser connects to that address and teoma returns its search page. So your browser never realizes it needs to search; it thinks it hit a valid page.
Why do they do this? Because the search engine gets paid for the "preferred" entries in the search result.
Your options are probably twofold: 1) don't search from the address bar, use the search bar instead. 2) Find another more honest DNS provider and configure it explicitly in your network settings.

6233 Search contact in last name AND first name

Hi,
the 6233 does not search Contacts in both first names AND last names. It only searches only in what come first.
Exemple : searching for "Paul" does not find "Smith Paul"
Do I need a firmware update to fix this ??
Thanks for your answer !

Hi Chen,
Based on my knowledge, there is no related method to enforce all users using More Columns as the default search option in Outlook Address Book. We can just change the search option for individual Outlook user by remembering the last search using as I mentioned
above.
Sorry for any inconvenience and thanks for your understanding.

Search Contacts & Directory fails

End users using OWA on Exchange 2013 CU5. Doesn't matter what browser or any other client-side information. I can give myself delegate access to various mailboxes and come up with the same error.
They compose a new message. Type the name in the To.. field and the application pops the drop-down with the magnifying glass that reads "Search Contacts & Directory". When you click, it states in the same box "Can't connect. Please
try again later."
Troubleshooting steps, thus far:
Recycle OWA Application Pools.
Recycle ECP Application Pools.
Recycle OAB Application Pools (yes, I know, this is for Outlook only).
Restart all CAS servers.
Nothing works. Has anyone else seen this and found a fix for it? It has to be something simple that I am missing.

Hi,
From your description, I would like to verify if the email address you search can be listed in Default Global Address List.
Open EAC -> organization -> address lists -> Default Global Address List
Best regards,

'Search' feature in Address Book not working

Hello!
I had a question about my Address Book and I was hoping someone could offer some help. I'm pretty computer illiterate so I'm sure there is a simple fix I just don't know about. When I use the 'Search' feature in address book on my iMac, it doesn't do anything. On my PowerBook, as soon as I type a letter it automatically begins to sort my contacts, but on my iMac it just isn't doing anything! I have even typed in the full name of a contact and when I hit the 'enter' key it just begins to alphabetically go through my contacts one by one. It isn't a huge thing, just an inconvenience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
~Thanks!~

Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
If that doesn't fix it, try Spotless...

Can anyone help with searching 'contacts' in iphone4

Hi guys - apologies if this is a dumb question but I am new to iphone. Just got the iphone4 - the apple shop copied the old contacts from my old nokia onto my iphone, then when i got home I sync'd the iphone with itunes and it copied my contacts into 'address book' on the mac.
I then saw that some of the names had been messed up in the process eg surname where first name should be and so on, so I spent an hour sorting it all out on the mac.
I then re-sync'd the phone with the mac and the contacts copied back over.
My question is this - when I want to find a person on my phone and I tap the column of letters on the right hand side of the contacts list, it takes me to the surnames - if I want to find 'natalie henshall' for example I have to press 'h'. Is there any way to change this so I can tap 'n' for natalie?
I know it is only a minor point but I really can't get used to searching by surname!
Thanks in advance & sorry for the lengthy post!

thanks - i tried that before posting and it didn't seem to do anything - however after powering the phone off and back on again it is working fine now... thanks for the reply!

POP3 email account (TO: search contacts)

Does anyone know how to search contacts from POP3 account when writing a new message before you type any email address in it says search contacts. I was hoping the email address book I have setup on my pop3 account would be searched or even a "global" list. I have contacts setup in Verizon email net mail which I exported from backup assistant and then imported into Verizon email address book. guess the address book is locally saved somewhere once you send a few emails it saves those addresses and you can search?

must have emails in the Kin Contacts for the "search contacts" to work. Once I had a few email contacts in, they were listed below so it only pulls local contacts from the kin contacts not a search.
I used the broswer thru wifi and was able to go to verizon email address book on verizon.net and click on phone numbers of contacts which imports only the phone number and puts the contact at the top of contact list as "new contact" so you can't import names and numbers together this way either.
I really wish there was a "back" and "next" button in the broswer for scrolling thru contact list html pages

Search on the address book do not responds

Hi! I´m a begginer and I have an issue with my address book. After add a couple of birthdays (which are synchronized with iCal), search on the address book do not responds.
Anyone Knows anything about that?
Thanks!

I found the solution. The answer is just unmark "sync contacts with icloud" on system pref, select "delete contacts from your mac". And then turn on "sync contacts with icloud". Thas All.
PD: don´t forget to check all your contacts back up on icloud.com

Tim

IF YOU CAN BACK UP YOUR ADDRESS BOOK FIRST
IF YOU CAN BACK UP YOUR ADDRESS BOOK FIRST
I have figured out the answer to nos 1
You need to delete Address Book from user/library/applicationsupport.
(All Contacts will go)
(In Lion to access this as is maybe hidden
hold the option key down on the Go menu (you will see Library)
Drag it to the slide bar then you know where it is)
Delete the file in Address Book/Application Support
restart Address Book and it works better
Still need help with Question 2
