How do I search for someone in My Contacts?

The My Contacts search is more flexible than a Directory search. In a Directory Search, your terms must match the full key word or tag. A search in My Contacts, in comparison, is a single letter search, so it will update the search results with each letter you type. In addition, a search in My Contacts searches every word in the profile including the About attachment. Thus, a My Contacts search will turn up details about an individual that would not appear in a Directory Search.
