Searching contacts on iPhone

After being frustrated with contacts on iPhone that had no search function I went on the prowl for a contacts search application. I found one called search on appshopper.com. While reading through what it can do I noticed that they said it had a more complete search of contacts than the built in search. That peeked my interest as I never found a search bar for contacts. I went back to contacts and had a closer look and ok and behold above the 'A' I saw a magnifying glass. So I promptly tapped on it and got a search bar on the contacts app. I can search names, surnames and company names :). So am a happier man as I don't have to spend $1.99 for an app, and I know how to search my contacts :).

Good news the iPhone has a built screenshot application. What you need
to do is press power key and then while holding in the power key you
press menu key and viola a screenshot.
