Description
This is an extension to the Android search facility that lets you search your contacts.
Whilst Android includes a native contact search, it will only search for names, and not parts of numbers or addresses.
Contact Lookup will look in MOST of the contact category fields for your search terms.
Includes powerful search modes including a true AND search that works across categories.
THERE ARE TWO PAID VARIANTS, full details on these applications can be found on the developers website (click the link below if browsing through the market). The free version is considered to be 'feature complete' and will not be updated, whereas the Pro and Fast versions enjoy the regular addition of new features.

Contact View

Contact View is a companion application developed by SoftWyer that is based upon the default Android viewer to provide a more clear view of the contacts. To use Contact View with Contact Lookup you must install it from the Android Market.
