    Contacts mail searching

    Hi,
    Recently I needed to search my mail contacts for a phone number and couldn't
    find a easy way to do this. Would any one know how to search inside contacts
    easily.
    Sorry if this has been posted before or if some one would be kind enough to
    point me to the right group.

    Have you tried changing the Contacts folder view to Details, then you can
    sort by Phone column.

    I just tried searching for a phone number and it was found, though it opens
    in a new window.

    Is your Contacts folder using the correct Folder template?
    Right click a blank area in the folder>customise this folder>select Contacts
    from the drop down menu.

    HTH?
