I would really like to see this feature in plus! (Y)

you have to know the email address to do this if you use custom names :P

nope, the search will be conduct on whatever is shown in the list, not on the underlying value.

That's the whole beauty of it. Use custom names in the form of "contact name - (!N)" and you have the best of both worlds: the real name _and_ the easy to remember (and find) real name/nickname. And searching becomes very easy and quick.

Its a good idea for the search, i said that myself, but just use the custom name thing and copy and paste the names into it... i wont be doing it myself though, as i havent got the time or patience, youd think in msn messenger 7.5 theyd have come up with something more exciting than just a voice clip button and moving the add contact around. Sheesh.
Don't make it yourself difficult; organize your list properly (give each contact a custom name in the form of "contact name - (!N)" and your life will become much easier and you don't need any search thingie...

If you don't want to do your 200 constacts at once, do them group by group each day. Once you have done it, you will see that it becomes very easy to find somebody.
