You might need to try it a different way. For example, in the SMS app "Textra":
- start a new message, typing in the "to" field searches only the contacts list from the "contacts" app.
- using the "search" box at the top of the list of conversations, I get a list of contacts from the contacts app followed by a list of conversations matching the "to" field.
So, in the "textra" app, you would want to do a "search" instead of a "start new message".
Different apps may behave slightly differently.
Sometimes the default SMS app that comes with the phone may be a bit too basic for your needs.
