I think a good way to solve this problem is with auto-suggest while you
type.  So, after you type "sil", the application "suggests" the last half of
your name by displaying it in a different color or highlighted.  Then you
just tap the word/name with your finger and it finishes it for you.  This is
how it works on the Nokia 770 and I find it very convenient.

== Search by surename and forename ==
I have all people in my telepone book stored with the second name and
the first name. Because nearly all of my relatives have the same
surename as I do, I have a fairly long list when I type in "sil" which
is the first letters of my surname. Then I usually have to either skip
through this list or write "silbermayr" completely in because on my
motorola phone I can't just type in a space and afterwards the first
letter of the forename. I would love the phone book application to
simply jump to the entry "Silbermayr Wolfgang" as soon as I write "sil
wo" into the search field.
