I just took my first business trip and my Nexus One (w/ Froyo) this week and it was rather frustrating.
I found several work related contacts to be missing and added one as a contact from the call log screen once they had called me. However, the contact remained unsearchable from either "Contacts" or the Google Search widget, which finds my other contacts just fine. The only way I could "find" the contact was by going to the call log screen and scroll down to it, despite the fact that after clicking on it from the call log screen, I could click on "view contact" (it looked just like a regular contact at this point, but still didn't show up anywhere other than on the call log screen).
Why wasn't I able to find this contact from "Contacts" or by using search? Do you have to manually re-index the phone somehow?
Also, is there a way to search my Exchange emails in Android? If I go to "Mail" and click on the search button at the bottom left of the screen, it recognizes the key-press, but nothing happens. This further exacerbated the problem since I could search my Exchange emails for the missing contacts email signatures to quickly find their contact info.
And is there a way to get the Google Search widget to search the emails on the phone? I find it surprising that it apparently can't search my Gmail account, especially considering I can search my Gmail account from within the Gmail app.
