Sorry if this was already reported (is there a proper bugtracker?), but starting from 0.26 the search for contacts got even worse than what I suggested here:

Mmm, that explanation sucks, let me put it as an example:
If you have these contacts:
Aaron
Abby
Ben
If you type "a", you are placed over Aaron's contact. If you type "ab", you are placed very briefly over Aaron's contact and then over Ben's contact. In the Contacts application, when you type "ab" it places you at Abby's contact, it searches for the whole string "ab" instead of for singular letters.

I found that behaviour much more useful, and also consistent with regular GTK+ (I use this type-search feature in my PC a lot in different GTK+ applications).

Thanks!
Now I can't search at all, typing any letters in the contact list do nothing.

Other than that, excellent release. Thanks!
