search that actually works.

It baffles me that I can't search someone by firstname lastname and have our messages thread come up 100% reliably.

Sure it works some of the time, but not for older threads.

Im ok with waiting 10 seconds as long as it returns the results I know are there. I am forced to go to Contacts and find the person, then click the new message button linking into messages.

Contacts app has a similar issue. I have < 1000 contacts, yet I can't search reliably for a contact I know is there by first / last name. I have to scroll through the list of all my contacts to get to it.

Maybe this is a bug, but its been an issue for me for years.
