So, while Phil Schiller was talking about the new Enterprise features that were going to be released on the iPhone during the SDK event on March 6th, I noticed a new feature that was added into the Contacts section of the Phone application.  It is a little spotlight icon right above the A on the alphabet. We have no clue how search will be implemented into iPhone, maybe a little pop-up, but it will definitely be helpful to Enterprise users who have thousands of contacts. It is a very smart addition to the iPhone software, but how come nothing was said about it? But who cares if they didn’t say anything about it, search is finally coming to iPhone. To see this for yourself, you can go to 9 minutes and 30 seconds in on the Quicktime video of the event. What’s weird is that during the demo’s of Contacts, you can’t see the spotlight icon, but in the screenshot that he presents you can see the spotlight icon. Maybe Apple has planned to have search in the final 2.0, but it wasn’t ready for the demo.
