Searching and filtering contacts
You can search the entire phone book for contact names and numbers, or
filter the contacts within a folder by entering a search string into the Search
Bar at the top of any folder (except Menu):
When the search is complete:
the Search folder lists folders containing at least one entry containing the
search string, and the number of entries in those folders. You can open
any of the listed folders.
all other folders are filtered to show their matching entries above a dotted
line. All non-matching entries are listed below the dotted line.
Note: Spaces in a search string ‘split’ it into separate strings. Search
attempts to match each string in sequence.
