It's about time iPhone carries this feature, If you are like me, having 280 contacts is a nightmare to lookup for an individual contact.
While Apple may have been intending to demonstrate their new Enterprise features last week, they also - likely accidentally - unveiled another upcoming addition to the iPhone: contacts search. Spotted by Daniel Ahdout, the functionality is hinted at by the appearance of a small magnifying glass icon at the top of the list; you can see it yourself at 9 minutes 30 into the official Apple SDK Roadmap video.

c’mon Staff.
When was the last time you called person #263 on your contact list?
I think you’re just trying to be all cool and stuff – “oooooh look at me – I have 280 friends”
Fred.
(with only 23 contacts)
lol, not that i call them often, but then scrolling thru takes sometimes :) beside 230 contacts is nothing compare to some others that store their whole collection of girl’s number on their iphone :)
Don’t tell me you dont do that fred! lol
Finally!!!!!!!!!! Yes, it is possible to have more than one friend.
I have a lot of contacts too. This feature will make a huge difference.
Sweeeeeeeeeeett!!!
When I switched to my iPhone I had my work contacts (over 300 of them) in my Outlook. And they all started with the letters in the last name. I quickly found out that I needed to remove that and just let them fall into alpha order, then I found out there was no search. So i’ve been scolling ever since. The search feature sounds great. Although I’ve gotten used to scrolling and may just continue to do so…
I think reporting this as fact is rather irresponsible. Reports based upon the actual developer firmware state this feature isn’t included. Prior to reporting something, you should at least attempt to get your facts together.
