On my bb, I can search for a text string and tell it to look through calendar, contact, ext... for the search. Anyone know how to do that on android? The only search function I can find (the Search button) searches on the internet...not data on your phone. I know there is also a Contact Search function, but that just searches for a contact, not text (i.e. your contact notes) within a contact.
Select the contact you want to search in people. At the bottom, there is a row of options. Messages is the second one. It will show you and text or email you have on your phone from that person.
