One way to search for contacts on the iPhone

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.

Note that this only works if the person has city and state info attached in the contacts database.
