Dumb address book question

[nags#AC]

This is a dumb question, I'm sure...But I've been trying to figure out for 20 mins and have searched. When I click the 'People' app. All my contacts show up obviously. However, I see no way to search through them. Like if I want to call 'Joe'. I see no way to just type Joe. If I hold 'menu' to manually bring up the menu. As I type it just shows up in a big grey box on the screen and still doesn't search for them. Am I doing something wrong here?

If I go to People and then do that it brings me to the standard search screen that also searches all of Facebook and stuff.. I want to just be able to search within my contacts.. I've looked in the settings for 'Search', but Facebook isn't even there to turn off.

^ This, it is located on the bottom right of you phone so you dont even have to open the phone app to scroll and you can even voice search for them.

Is there a way to stop that from searching Facebook and have it just search Contacts?

if you scroll to the bottom of the search and hit more, usually you will see that contact icon.

Thats not doing it. No matter what I do, it's searching everyone on Facebook as well...

I just need to find a way to get all the Facebook contacts off... They pop up in every aspect of the phone

Press + in right corner; then press Folder; then press Phones to place the folder on home page...
When you open Phone Folder it will show you list you can scroll through..

Thats pretty sweet.. But it still doesn't allow me to search.. I have like 400 contacts.. I want to be able to try and call 'Jessica' and just be able to type 'Jes' and have her pop right up...

OK OK Here is solution:

Press People

Press Magnifying Glass

Type Name in the Search People area

For example if you type in M it will show you people with last names and first names starting with M

You can also use the number pad to type, as if you were using T9. Suggestions will show up in the top pane just as with the QWERTY keyboard.

I'm not using facebook on my phone, so I'm not really sure, but I think that once you tie in facebook those entries become part of your contacts database. So any app that searches contacts is going to search facebook contacts, too.

Ok try this, I think its what your trying to do... Open your people, tap menu, then view. From there I unchecked Facebook for HTC Sense. That helped me get rid of alot of the facebook people out of my contacts.

That isn't an option for me.. I only have Gooogle and Phone. With and without my Facebook account linked to the phone.

There is an app I use called Power Search that will search your contacts, both the names and within the contact as well.

Try pulling up phone, then type jes. It will search contacts from the phone dialer.

This one of the coolest features IMO. I never go into contacts for a phone number anymore. I just start typing their name in the dialer.

On the same point as the original question, I have no dramas bringing up and searching my cotacts. However, the "View Home Address" tab doesn't show the full address (especially for international contacts which can be a bit longer). If you click on the address to try and read it, it opens the MAP application...is there away around this so I can read the full address?
Thanks!
