'Search for a contact' function, please ..

Hello,
I'm trying to search for a friend on Skype, but I can't find anywhere where I can find her. I've tried typing in her name and where she lives, but I don't get any results. I read a page that said something about a search button in the top left corner of the hime page, but every time I go to look for it, it's not there. Could you please tell me how to search for people on Skype?
Thank you,
Amanda

Hello! Ever since I upgraded my iPhone 5s to IOS 7.1, I am unable to access the iPhone Keyboard if I access contacts the recent calls tab. I am also unable to access the keyboard if I want to search for a contact as long as I went through the recent calls

Hello! Ever since I upgraded my iPhone 5s to IOS 7.1, I am unable to access the iPhone Keyboard if I access contacts using the recent calls tab. I am also unable to access the keyboard if I want to search for a contact as long as I went through the recent calls tab. Has anyone a fix for this problem? If you want to try it out, do the following?
Dial a number from your iPhone Keypad. After cutting the call, try to save the number you just dialled to your contacts by choosing the new contact option. You will see that you will not be able to key in the name of your new contact.

Works fine for me.
Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

Delegate can no longer search for bosses contacts

We recently had an assistant lost the ability to search through her bosses contacts. She can click on the contacts in Outlook 2010 and browse them just fine. When she enters a contact name in the search field when her bosses contacts are highlighted
it only searches the delegates contacts. Something has changed and I can't figure it out. We are using Exchange 2003. She claims this has worked before.
She can create contacts so the permissions are untouched. Something I am missing here.

I can answer one, its cached mode. What search settings?
It worked recently, like a week ago.
Hi,
Please follow Willard's suggestion to check the Indexing Option settings and confirm if the issue happens in Online mode. If the issue persists in Online mode and folder permission is checked to be configured correctly in the Boss's side, please start
Outlook in safe mode to have a try:
Click Start > Run, type Outlook /safe, then click OK to restart Outlook.
If the contact searching works well in Outlook safe mode, please check the Add-ins and disable any third-party one in cached mode for troubleshooting.

HT4623 I have just updated to the latest ipad setting and my search engine no longer functions, please help.

I should like to know if this may be a problem with the latest update iOS 7.1 and how can I correct it ,please. Thank you for your help.Rensah

Hi JimHdk
I was attempting to use google to find information. Google stopped working for at least half an hour. I decided to plug the ipad in to recharge as the battery was below 50% and left it. Later, On restarting the ipad I discovered that the search engine was, and still is, working.
I have heard that previous updates have caused problems to iPads etc and considered that this might have happened with this update, despite being unaffected on previous updates.
My ipad is fully working now but I am curious to know why it happened as it has never stopped working since I purchased the ipad 18 months ago.
I appreciate your contacting me I order to help. Many thanks, Rensah

Using Search for new contacts that are strangers.

Hi Guys! How are you?

Hi, Christopher, and welcome to the Community,
Skype now restricts the directory search parameters in an effort to prohibit the activities of spammers, phishers, and the like. I would not expect Skype to describe the search algorithm's parameters.
Best regards,
Elaine

Highly frustrated with Outlook 2013 Search People box bugs - Multiple Name Results for Same Contact & Inconsistent Results

The Outlook 2013 "Search People" box does not function properly. It frequently displays incorrect results or a mess of duplicate results. I've reported previous issues about this and consolidating my posts into one (with screenshots this
time). Hopefully this message will be forwarded to or seen by the Outlook programmers. It really needs to be fixed.
Outlook 2010 and other prior versions worked perfectly. You search for name, you get ONE result with the info you're looking for. FAST AND EASY. But with Outlook 2013 Microsoft has created a heck of a mess resulting in huge frustration and productivity loss
with such simple but important tasks.
I have hundreds of contacts stored in my Outlook address book, and they all have COMPLETE contact info added.
One major issue that I'm experiencing in the new Outlook 2013 is that I now get average of 4 or more duplicate name results appearing for the same contact. And each result contains different and incomplete contact info, making it impossible for me to quickly
find the basic info I'm looking for. The cause of this issue is that Outlook 2013 now provides results from not only your local address book(s), but it also shows results based on your email history and social media accounts setup.
And there's no way to turn this off, or at least specify what folders and/or accounts the People Search box should use.
To make matters worse, the Microsoft developers conveniently forgot to add some form of an indicator (like a small icon besides each name result in the list) that clearly indicates what result is from what source. So you must manually click on each
result one at a time and repeat the search until you locate the correct one.
For one specific example, I have a contact stored in my local address book called
Infusionsoft. When I type "Infusionsoft" in the People Search box to quickly find a phone number, Outlook 2013 shows me 7 results with the same name. See the screenshot below:
As you can see in the screenshot above, every result just says "Infusionsoft", so I have to manually click on each name result one at a time and repeat the process until I find the correct one from my address book. This same thing happens with other
random contacts.
From what I can tell, Outlook is pulling results based on based on recent emails I've received from different people with "@infusionsoft.com" in their email address. So the first result shows "[email protected]" (just the email
address), the second result shows "[email protected]", the third result shows "[email protected]" and so forth. I don't want Outlook to show all of that. I just want what's in my address book!
And you would think that the last result would be the correct one from my address book, but no. Sometimes its the 5th result, and other times it's the 3rd or 7th result. So there's no freaking order of things here.
We simply need the ability to turn off searching of email history and other accounts when using the People Search box. Problem fixed.
(And please don't tell me that I need to "link" every incorrect result to one main contact. You shouldn't expect everyone to have to tediously link any and all results that appear to a record. ESPECIALLY when 5+ results for each contact appear regularly.)
ISSUE 2: Some names must be typed in a different way for the Search People to locate them
Another big issue I'm having with the Search People box is that some name searches don’t show the correct result, unless I search for their names in a different way.
For one specific example, I have a contact stored in my address book named "Dave Johnson". When I type "Dave Johnson" in the Search People box, one result appears, but it's just his email address, only. It's not the result that's stored in my Outlook address
book with his phone number, addresses, etc. Screen shot below:
If I type in Dave's name reverse order (Johnson Dave), no results are found at all.
Now if I just type in just"Johnson" all by itself, it finds Dave's correct result (the one stored in my Outlook Address Book). Along with everybody else that has "Johnson" in their name (see screenshot below)...
I double-checked how I have Dave's name programed in my address book, and it's in there as "Dave Johnson" for both the Full Name and File As fields.
Also, the name order shouldn't make any difference when using the People Search Box anyway. Sometimes I can find people by Last Name, First Name or First Name, Last Name. Only with random contacts does it get difficult finding their info and
I have to do strange things like this to find them from the People Search box.
ISSUE 3: Some Search People results only yield an email address only.
For other random contacts, some search results only yield an email address with no other contact details. But I can open the persons contact card from the address book manually, with the same email address shown! Screenshot below...
In the screenshot above, I have outlined the Search People box results in red, and the Address Book results in green. You can clearly see that "Robert White" is a contact stored in my local address book with full contact details, but the Search People result
only shows his email address! Again, it's not consitent. It's hit or miss with different people.
ISSUE 4: Some results just don't appear at all, but they are in the address book
Another issue I'm experiencing with the People Search Box is that some people simply cannot be found. But I can see their contact info just fine if I click on the "People" tab down at the bottom of the page and type in their name in the "Search Contacts"
field. Why can't the People Search box find certain people? I opened up their contact details and cannot find a single thing that would prevent them from showing up in results.
These are clearly serious bugs that need to be fixed. And I'm shocked as to how this got missed--or ignored during alpha and beta testing. I see the "idea" behind the developers having the Search People box search everything outside of the
address book, but in real world application this causes a heck of a lot of problems & confusion, and it needs to be fixed ASAP.
For technical details, I have Outlook 2013 running on two computers using hosted Exchange 2010. One system is Windows 7 and other is Windows 8. The same problems occur on BOTH computers. As far as my Outlook account setup, I have all contacts stored in the
main address book (no sub-folders or other folders).
Can someone help communicate this message to the Outlook developers??? The "Frown" button limits me to 100 characters and one image. There's no way I can communicate this level of detail and steps to duplicate in 100 characters!

Thanks for your reply.
1) The instant search boxes in each individual page work just fine. If I am on the People page and type in a name in the "Search Contacts" field, it searches my contacts and displays the results that I want. But I should not have to leave whatever screen
I'm in to find people now. In Outlook 2010 and earlier versions, I could be on the calendar page and then search for a contact without clicking off the calendar completely. For productivity-sake, it's a huge waste of time and hassle now.
2) I'm familiar with how contact linking works, and quite frankly it's a huge mess in general. I NEVER create multiple contacts for the same person. I get that Outlook 2013 get confused now when it detects a LinkedIn or Facebook account for the same person
already in my Outlook address book, but we need to have options that allow us to turn off results from some or all social networks. This is a big part of the problem.
Think about it this way - The average person has 150+ LinkedIn connections, and more for Facebook. Many people today have accounts for both and they are setup with the same email address. When Outlook 2013 has to scan all the networks IN ADDITION to your
local address book(s), it's a no brainer that it can get very confused trying to display results.
Another big part of the problem is that Outlooks new search system also scans your email history. I receive emails from people who use multiple email addresses, or emails from companies with multiple reps or ticket systems that send you a unique
ticket ID # ending in the same email address domain. Now Outlook displays people search results based on everything under the sun in my email history. This is beyond frustrating (see my "Infusionsoft" screenshot above in the first post).
Again, I want to stress that for the search examples I referenced, I only have one entry in my Outlook address book for each person. And that's all I want to find when I search for people--what's already in my own address book!
In summary:
We need an OPTION to turn off searching external networks when using the People Search box
We need an option to tell Outlook to not scan email history for people search results (I think this needs to be disabled entirely actually. It's not helpful at all)
There should be a fixed priority for displaying people search results, with local address book results FIRST, followed by social network results.
There should be a clear icon/indicator next to each result that gives you a clue as to where the result is coming from. Your address book? Facebook? LinkedIn? We should not need to click on each result to get a hint as to where it's coming from.
Work out the bugs in general with the new search system.
One other thing that I didn't mention is that the Search People box also shows results for people I'm not even "friends" or connected with on the different social networks. But I've noticed that some people use the same email address for those networks that
I already have programmed for them in my address book, which is why Outlook sometimes shows me these results. Does that make sense?
I'll try rebuilding the index, but after testing Outlook 2013 on 3 different machines so far and seeing the same results (all slightly different results on each machine and very inconsistent), I doubt this will address the issue.

In the Contacts app, select "Groups" in the upper left hand corner.
Then select all the groups that are desired to be displayed.
Select Done.
Now search for the contact(s) in question. Do they appear now?

N6030 Searching for contact by name to send messag...

I used to be able to search for the contact by name to send a message. Now a 123 icon appears top left and the keypad only accepts numbers for the search. Any ideas about how to turn it back to letters? Thanks in anticipation for your help.

Too bad. On S60 based phones it switches between numeric (123) and text (Abc) entry formats in the To: field of the message editor.

Searching for Calculation function like "@TONUMBER()" (Business Rules)

Hello,
I am searching for a calculation function like "@TO_NUMBER()" or a workaround.
My current problem is as follows:
@CONCATENATE("AAA_",(@SUBSTRING("BBB_2010",4) - 1) doesnt work --> SUBSTRING function returns "2010" (as STRING value, but then I cannot substract 1).
Besides I am missing another function like @TO_STRING(), too, because @CONCATENATE("AAA_",2010) doesnt work - @CONCATENATE expects STRING and not NUMBER.
Can anybody help?
Thanks & kind regards
André

Hi Krish,
thanks, but I would like to avoid using cdfs...
I have another idea, but it doesnt work, too (I opened another thread):
calculating with temporary variables doesnt work - does anybody knows the reason (and have a workaround for me)?
Herewith my code:
VAR varLoopAmount = 15;
VAR varShiftValue = 1;
LOOP(varLoopAmount)
"Schadenquote BOZ" = "Schadenquote BOZ" + @SHIFT(&GCS_SchwaRue_Historie,varShiftValue,@ICHILDREN(&GCS_SchwaRue_Historie));
varShiftValue = varShiftValue + 1;
ENDLOOP;
error message: Detail:(1012004): Invalid member name [varShiftValue]
Thanks for help
André
