Description
This is an extension to the Android search facility that lets you search for any contact details.Whilst Android includes a native contact search, it will only search for names, and not parts of numbers or addresses.
Contact Lookup Pro will search for any part of your contacts that you choose. It includes powerful search modes including a true AND search that works across categories.
Pro version adds:
- Improved phone number search.
- Search your contact notes
- Search contact events (OS 2.0+)
- Search SIP addresses (OS 2.3)
- Search Gmail custom fields (OS 2.0+)
- Search group names
- Palm like Initial + Surname search, e.g. use "ol" or "ola" to find Osma Bin Laden
- Sort by Surname
- Quickly show contacts in a group (OS 2.0+)
- Send and email or SMS to contacts in your search list (OS 2.0+)
- Show organisation in the results, rather than search snippet
- Contact photos show in the app screen
- Regular Expression search mode
- Quick launch by long-press on search button
- Automatic search on key press
- Support for larger screens without 'letter boxing'
- Search text is highlighted in Contact View.
Categories searched:
- Structured Names
- Nicknames (OS 2.0+)
- Phone Numbers
- SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) Addresses, also know as VOIP addresses. (OS 2.3+)
- Email Addresses
- Website Addresses
- Postal Addresses
- Instant Messaging Addresses
- Organisations (OS 2.0+)
- Contact Events (Birthdays, Anniversaries, etc)
- Contact Notes
- Relations
- Contact group names
- Custom fields entered via Gmail (labels and data, OS2.0+)
- Custom labels in the standard contact fields are searched too!
If you find Contact Lookup Pro too slow for your daily needs, then try Contact Lookup Fast. It searches the same categories as Pro but in a fraction of the time. See the website for details.

Must have add-on Google search ALONE sucks completely when used to search within your contacts. This add-on, however, takes contacts searching into the proper level. Any keyword can be used, and your contacts will suddenly (and FINALLY) show as part of your Google search results. really, someone in Google SHOULD BE FIRED for missing out in including such a feature as PART of Google Search to begin with. But noooooooo, we have to buy it from these guys, so THANKS for this add-on guys and I think it is worth every penny!

Thrilled! Provides the functionality I needed without adding features that are duplicated in existing apps. As my contacts expand in number and detail, this app will eventually save me countless hours!

Best contact search app on the market 2.15.1 -> What can I say? Fast. Embedded search. Perfect UI. Configurable to a fair-thee-well. Extremely well documented. Support is as good as any I've encountered.
