Do we know it will only search by last name?
On my Blackberry, I can find John Doe of Widget, Inc. in New york by typing:
J-O-H-N-D or W-I-D-G or N-E-W-Y
It basically searches all the fields of a contact's information to bring up all matches. That would be great if the iPhone could too.

Calendar Search?
Was there any mention of a Calendar Search? or was it solely Contact Search?
ATM, i'm using the Search app by PolarBearFarm, but would have expected a Calendar search integrated into 2.0 software too...

Group lists aren't implemented in the current firmware just like colored calendar events aren't.
Course that might change with the new firmware. Or it might not.
Contact groups carry over, at least to my iPod Touch, so it must be the same for the iPhone.
Looks to me like multiple calendars will be on 2.0.... you can see from the mobileme pics, the iphone has coloured calendars on it....
i think manual groups carry over, but smart groups do not. for example i have a school contact group for anyone with a @umich.edu email address. and that is a smart group and it doesnt carry over, but i have a fraternity group that is drag and drop, and it carries over to the iphone
If the Simulator is anything to go by the contact search only seems to search First Name, Last Name and Company Name. No other fields are searched. If anything else it should also search, Nickname, Job title, Notes.
One thing I also thought was missing from the iPhone was Spotlight, a nice little magnifying glass icon up by say the battery that if you held your finger on would open up a global search.

My situation is that I sell to schools and may have as many as 500 schools to call on. Now sometimes I may remember the Principals name and sometime I may remember the School name only. So if I group all the schools together, then I just still need to search by school name or Principal name. Will this be possible?
Well, I dunno about groups, but if you put the school name under Company, then you'll definitely be able to search by either principal name or school name.
