Have you considered putting your contacts into groups, to reduce the number of contacts you need to scrol through?

Spotlight Search? Swipe to the left of the first Home page or press
the Home button from the first Home page. Configure the options via
Settings General \ Spotlight Search.

When in the Contacts App, scrolled down in the list somewhere, single-tap the time at the very top of the iPhone. The list will scroll all the way to the top where the Spotlight search lives.

This works in similar situations in most Apps.

You *do* know about using the alphabetic list on the right to snap-scroll to some particular part of the alphabet, right?

You're right. Spotlight search isn't too bad. I guess I'll just do that. I have the app ABSearch as one of my main four and it will search the notes field in Contacts, but it is a little slow and will shut down unexpectedly. Thanks for the response.

Good answer, Jim. The tap at the top is quick. The alphabet to the right is not accurate enough. Thanks!

Hi Tramaine,

I had removed the plastic film…but thanks for the tip. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if the phone is defective.
