About Contact Lookup
This is an extension to the Android search facility that lets you search your contacts.
Whilst Android includes a native contact search, it will only search for names, and not parts of numbers or addresses (although it's getting better with each OS upgrade)
Contact Lookup will look in MOST of the contact category fields for your search terms, although it doesn't search Notes.
Includes powerful search modes including a true AND search that works across categories.
THERE IS A PAID VARIANT, full details of which can be found on the developers website (click the link below if browsing through the market). The free version is a legacy application and will NOT be updated, whereas the paid version enjoys the regular addition of new features.

I love it, MUCH faster than my stock android search and searching most fields works great. I have a lot of contacts due to business, and this really helps manage that. Easily one of my favorite apps. And I do not give easy praise...

It's good for searching your own contacts but I'm looking for an app that will search for businesses or people and auto add all the info like address, phone, and add photo to my Android contacts. Kind of like FB when it syncs to contacts.

Thank goodness for this app. It drives me nuts when I can't search even on a company name where someone works, much less look up a missed call's phone number. A full-on replacement for the Contacts app that came with my Samsung would net this 5 stars.

When I search my contact with part of phone number like 253, it finds contacts well that includes those numbers, but when it shows as a list, some of actual phone numbers become upside down sometimes.

Installed to have back what I had in GB, that Google stupidly took from me with KK: search my contacts by typing part of the number. Still would love to see the compatible contacts while typing and not just after clicking search button. Great anyway.

Thank you so much for this! I don't understand why this is not (an option) in the other full-fledged contact apps. Or in the stock app, for that matter. However simple or difficult it may be, you did it just right! Thank you! I was giving people names like: Peter Sellers Actor 140 World Trade... so... thanks for giving these people back their christian names! a big help, really!

Does what a search should do when searching contacts. When I get my results, I choose the contact, that persons info comes up. With Google search for contacts, name comes up when I select that name a completely different contact shows, that isn't even related to my search. Great app. I highly recommend. Thanks.

You have to use the Google search rather than the native contact search to search in phone numbers. The computer based search in Google contacts smartly ignores spaces. This app only does literal (dumb) searches. However still better than the standard facility.

Wanted to love my new phone, but searching the contacts on my Android had only two options:first or last name! Who searches only with that?! I totally loved my old BlackBerry that brought up all tthe matches in the search; company OR detail in my contact. This is perfect to make my Android more like the business-oriented BlackBerry. So far this free version is adequate for my searches. Thanks!

Integrates with the Search Bar and provides a lot of the functionality that Google Search should have had from the beginning.
