How difficult was it to miss out database fields in a search? I mean, the Apple programmers must have worked long overtime hours to ensure that the new Spotlight search does NOT find everything on the iphone, but deliberately excludes all Contact fields except name, company and email. Try searching for a phone number, or a town name. UNBELIEVABLE - it doesn't find it. Think about it - you are a rep, you go to a town, you want to know who are your contacts in that town... can't do it You know the sales director likes sailing, and you put it in the notes field.... can't find sailing, can't find the Sales Director's name Spotlight claims to search the WHOLE iphone. Hmmm... Peter My pet gripe – why is there no search across ALL fields in the contact list?
