At last search functionality that comes close to that of the palm. Thank you very much!! Did I miss this.

Tried the version that still crashed on conservations. That one took approximately 20 mb of my root memory.

I'll install the optified Scout version when it enters the extra testing repository, but can hardly wait.

ps I have my agenda going back to 1999 too and approximately 1000 contacts. Indexing might become a real option.
