Suggestion - Search in contact list

Please, to insert a search in the contact list, pressing "CTRL + F", for e-mail and nickname

yea ive often thought about that, like I can remember someone's email but I don't know what their curretn nickname is, so being able to search for it would be good.

I could make a program to do it, but I think something like this would be better integrated into Plus! itself

Weird, i was gonna suggest this about a week ago but was caught up in soem other stuff.

I often cannot remeber contacts email neither.

maybe type in a bit of a contacts email or msn name also, that could be cool.

Or, just turn on Custom Names.

you COULD use custom names but if your list of contacts is like 150+ then you don't really want to spend hours renaming every contact so you know who's who. I mean who DOES want to do that? I would rather this feature be integrated in plus then not. or maybe just a plugin...as long as it gets the job done.

I must say, I use the custom contacts, took me ages to change everyone, and I have to keep doing it again everytime I have to format, or something goes wrong and I have to fully uninstall, this could be a good feature!!!


is tht too big?

this feature already exists, try using noroom's listmanager or Gilly Messenger
note that they're both seperate clients, and thus not add-ons... you'll have to sign in with those programs instead of msn messenger

it's called backing up your preferences...

That a good point, when did I become so stupid, Or was that something from birth, I don't fancy using another server though, I'll jus back my preferences, Thanks!

The whole point in Custom Names is you then won't have to search!

even that way wouldnt you have alot of ppl to do? I mean your telling me that you want to spend horus naming everyone...I have loads of contacts that I dont know their names....its kinda halarious but true
