iPhone contacts search does not work

Searching for a company name that is within my contacts does not provided any results.

I have tried add that company name to both the first and second name, but that makes no difference. This is seriously frustrating!

Am I missing something glaringly obvious, or is this a known problem?

Kind regards

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18

iOS 26 contacts not indexing After updating to the new iOS 26, my contacts are not indexed correctly. I have: rebooted the phone disabled contacts from icloud, rebooted and re-enabled contact disabled icloud, rebooted and re-enabled It looks like it re-indexes but all contacts are still not searchable. For example if I search by company name it only brings up a couple of contacts and not all. I have checked and the company name is the same in all contacts. What am I missing?
