myTouch4G_contacts_search

WORKAROUND FOUND!

Problem: Searching for Contacts on myTouch 4G (also known as the HTC Glacier) does not work!

As per http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/101/p/13901/58370.aspx#58370

I can open my contacts in the standard HTC contacts app and they are all there but when I tap on the magnifying glass in the upper right corner the search text box appears and the keyboard appears but the screen displays "No Contacts". No matter what I type in the search box nothing appears. I can search normally from the phone dialer app or from the Google search. I have contacts in Exchange, Gmail, and Facebook (both "Facebook for Android" and "Facebook for myTouch").. They all appear in the contacts app but cannot be searched. I have cleared the data in the contacts storage app and that seemed to fix the problem for about 4 hours until but in the middle of re-linking contacts (facebook to gmail to exchange) the search stopped.

HELP!!

SOLUTION: Use link to add and merge in the entry you want. Or use Google Search.

Typical Contacts Menu...

We have created an entry with the name "..." and "mergeme" as an email address.

This appears at the top of the Contacts list.

Then type in the desired contact in this case we want a precinct so we type prec

and see this:

followed by All our contacts. We then type prec and see the matching entries with the search string highlighted as shown:

....

Now the entries are merged/link and we can pick the number we want.

Also thing can be search in Google Search as shown:
