Peter, Are you saying that you want that search to return all emails sent from people named Sally? Or do you want the search to return a list of contact entries from your Google contacts for people named Sally?
If the former, type from:Sally. If the latter, then I think you need to change the left pane drop down from Gmail to Contacts and then just type Sally in that search box.
