Hey.

I remember that older versions of MSN had a feature that allowed you to search for contacts when adding a contact.

Anyone knows if that's still in WLM?

Thanks

yes there is a search box in the main window.

Thanks, but I'm not talking about that. I remember that you could enter the first/last name and it would show a list of matching contacts.

Yup. It's just above all your contacts. and it has the text "Find a contact" in it

But that is for contacts that already are in your contact list.

I think I didn't make myself clear: I want to search for contacts that I don't have in my list by entering their fist/last name, location, etc.
Afaik, old MSN versions supported that.

You mean like in yahoo where you can search there database?

Don't really remember such a feature. Even if it was there at a time, doesn't exist anymore.

Probably, but, I haven't ever used Yahoo, so I'm not sure...

There used to be a feature like that...
And I just remembered about Windows Messenger: If you are still using Windows XP, open Windows Messenger (Start -> Run -> msmsgs) and sign in. Then click "Add a contact" and then "Search for a contact". That is what I mean.
However, for some reason it doesn't work... (it says something like "For an unknown reason, your search failed. Please try again later.")
I might contact Microsoft about it...

they probably disabled it because of privacy issues

Somebody help me find a link to contact for support!
The one on the help menu in WLM says at the top that they won't respond to my email.
They stopped providing support now?
