I'm having this exact same issue. I have 1200 contacts on my phone and when I click on Contacts and try to search for one of them, nothing comes up. In order to make your contact list "searchable" again:


- Go into Contacts

- Click on Groups on the top left hand corner

- Click on Done on the top right hand corner

- Then you can search

When you go back to the home screen, you have to do this again if you want to search for a new contact. This process is extremely annoying! I have called Apple Customer Support for this issue and was told that Apple is aware of the problem and they are hoping that it gets fixed in the next update whenever that is. I really hope that it does as it's extremely annoying.

Anyone else having this issue?
