Something I cannot get used to in iOS: in the Contacts app, you start typing a string of letters in the search box, and it pulls up "matching" Contacts in alpha order (as you would expect)... but it doesn't just look in the Name field(s). Instead, it also searches the other fields in each record ("Notes," etc.), and retrieves ALL records with that string in ANY field. As a result, if you have Notes entered for various contacts, you will need to type 2 or 3 more letters than feels necessary in order to "narrow down" the results to the record(s) you're looking for (the ones where just the name matches).
I know this sounds trivial (and it feels that way, writing it out), but I don't remember other platforms working this way. I guess I can understand why one might occasionally want to search the Notes field; but it seems like the vast majority of the time, I'm just looking for a name, and want to find it fast.
(I guess it's one of those iOS quirks; like pressing home button from within an app contained in a folder, and you're taken back to the open folder rather than the homescreen – "How common is that use case??" Must be common enough around Apple HQ that they choose to play it that way...)
