One of the oversight's on the iPhone is the lack of a search feature in many areas -- email and contacts, for instance. For contacts, at least, there's a bit of a workaround using the Maps program. Open Maps and type the name of the person you'd like to find in the input bar. The iPhone will display matches from your contacts list; select the one you want, and it will appear on the map. Now click the ">" symbol and you'll see the full record for that person.

One way to search for contacts on the iPhone
Also, if you're searching for a name that appears multiple times in your address book (such as several family members with the same last name), there's a quick way to further narrow it down. Just type one or two letters of the first name, then space and a couple letters from the last name, (or the middle name, suffix, etc...)
Doesn't work for edits
Another caveat: when viewing contacts like this, you can't edit the entries; that functionality is only accessable from the Phone app. |
