Thanks for writing that app lightsail (even though i haven't tried it yet
) ! I have added a link to your thread in the first post.
As for this live search deal this should head us in the right direction. I wonder what Celedial uses to make this contacts lookup work. I guess it would be best to be able to work out the old method though since that could make the old smartdialer work as well as the live search contacts at the same time.
