padmavyuha Trans Tomboy™ Registered: 09/03/03 Posts: 4865 Loc: Dawlish, Deepest Darkest Devon	can I get spotlight to search the actual content content on my phone, so when I put in London, for example, it shows me all the contacts with London in the address, and not just the one contact with London in the contact name? Bit pointless, otherwise. _________________________ If it's brokenless, don't suffix it...

You can search on pretty much anything, which meant I could find all my contacts in London and look for a friend to stay with . It's plenty fast enough on an iPhone 4 (but then I don't have thousands of contacts). _________________________ If it's brokenless, don't suffix it...
