Bug Description

In Android, Windows phone, and older platforms (meaning, everywhere but iOS and apparently Jolla) you can use the T9 letters in the dialer app to type the beginning of names and get suggested phone numbers.

For example, if "Mom" is a contact, then typing 66 will suggest contacts that start with / contain "mo", even if the number doesn't include 66.

I swear that Mom being 666 in this context is purely a coincidence, my mom is a perfectly lovely person :-)

Just leaving some notes here for people who'll work on this: it seems that a similar feature was implemented at point, but it was then removed (I don't know the reason, sorry).

The revision which disabled the contacts search functionality in the dialer screen is

Hope this helps

This is something that I think would be a great addition to have on the phone and help bring the phone up to the standards that people would now expect.
