Introduction: Speed Up Smart Phone Contacts/address Book Search

About: A frustrated, failed engineer who fell into accounting.

If you have a lot of contacts in you smartphone searching can be a pain because it gives to many hits. My solution is to put the contacts' initials at the end of the name as a pseudo-hash to speed the search so that normally it only three taps.

Step 1: Here's the Problem

All those named with Z... How to get to who I want easily?

Step 2: After the Initials Have Been Added

With the initials added, as per the image.

Step 3: What the Search Now Looks Like

Now with two initials I quickly get to who I want or reduce the number of hits.

It really comes into its own when sending SMSs to a group of people.

That's it.
