Why can't I search my contacts?

[AC Question]

I have an Android Galaxy Tab A working on a 6.0.1 android operating system and due to the nature of my work I have more than 16K contacts synced to my tablet from my gmail account. The contacts are all there before I start the search but as soon as I search a name of any of my contacts I get no results. The search works very well with my S7 edge, does anyone know what I need to do to fix up my Tab A?

I thinks it's about the app itself that can't handle the db with this huge number so try Google Conacts app:
