Searching for Contacts

If you have a lot of contacts in your Contacts folder, you can use the Search Contacts box in the upper-right corner of the Contacts window to quickly locate a contact. Click in the Search Contacts box and type a few characters from the person’s name. The contact list shrinks to contain only the people whose names contain those letters, and highlights the search text in the contact information (such as name or e-mail address). When you see the person you want, double-click the name to open. To remove the filter and see all contacts again, click the x at the right side of the Search Contacts box.
