Description
This is an extension to the Android search facility that lets you search your contacts.Whilst Android includes a native contact search, it will only search for names, and not parts of numbers or addresses.
Contact Lookup will look in most of the contact category fields for your search terms.
Includes powerful search modes including a true AND search that works across categories.
THERE ARE TWO PAID VARIANTS, full details on these applications can be found on the developers website (click the link below if browsing through the market). The free version is considered to be 'feature complete' and will not be updated, whereas the Pro and Fast versions enjoy the regular addition of new features.

Contact View

Contact View is a companion application developed by SoftWyer that is based upon the default Android viewer to provide a more clear view of the contacts. To use Contact View with Contact Lookup you must install it from the Android Market.

This application requires Internet permissions to enable adverts to be shown.

This app fills the gap... I don't know why most handsets still are not capable of finding a contact by typing a phone number. Technically this shouldn't be a problem. Anyway... This app do fill the gap. Thumbs up...

Not quite there You have to use the Google search rather than the native contact search to search in phone numbers. The computer based search in Google contacts smartly ignores spaces. This app only does literal (dumb) searches. However still better than the standard facility.

Blows Google search out of the water. Does what a search should do when searching contacts. When I get my results, I choose the contact, that persons info comes up. With Google search for contacts, name comes up when I select that name a completely different contact shows, that isn't even related to my search. Great app. I highly recommend. Thanks.
some things are better left unsaid. :)

Some bug found... When I search my contact with part of phone number like 253, it finds contacts well that includes those numbers, but when it shows as a list, some of actual phone numbers become upside down sometimes.

If your "People" app is letting you down, something in the SoftWyer stable will be for you. Responsive developer. Great Apps.
