Thanks Ralf for your comment, although it made me depressed :)  I have too
many contacts with possibility of such search. I already made some search
folders for the most common names but there are simply too many, I can't
make a search folder for each :(

I think there's a plan to re-write the search function in Evo with GSoC. I
may need to wait until then :(
