- The Torch 9800 native device search will not locate a text string in contacts, memopad and email unless it appears in the subject field, name field, or the company field. The Torch 9800 native search tool will not search and locate a text string like "9593", for example, if it is part of the house number in the address field in contacts, or part of a frequent flyer number that you store on the memopad, or if it is part of a confirmation number that is located in the body of an email message iteniery. The Torch 9800 search tool is optimized to search the web and social media sites, but not the device itself. The Bold 9000 had a much better native search tool. And there is no third party smart search App for this.10-04-10 02:08 PMLike 0

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com10-04-10 02:39 PMLike 0 - I for one am grateful the full content of all my messages isn't searched. No way a phone is gonna do this quickly, unless you keep only a small amount of messages. I know this because doing so on Outlook can take quite a while. And if it was somehow able to do so quickly, unless the search parameters where pretty unique the sheer number of returned results would be pretty cumbersome.
RIM got it right with Universal Search.10-04-10 04:25 PMLike 0 - The Bold 9000 had good native device search app, but Blackberry dumbed it down in the OS for the Torch 9800. As for third party apps, SyncData SmartphoneFind has a great device search tool... Syncdata SmartphoneFind
Too bad it only works on the WM BlackJack and not the BlackBerry.
""SmartphoneFind is designed to search for the following item types:"
- Contacts
- Appointments
- Tasks
- Text messages (SMS)
- E-mail messages
- File names
- Phone calls from call history

What happens if you do a real search like "persons name" or "American Airlines" or "frequent flyer"
i think it would be kind of weird to search for my frequent flyer miles by remembering the last 4 digits vs typing in frequent flyer or american air or similar...just my thoughts. Maybe more advantageous for you.
to demo it out...i decided to search "employee" to get my employee number - if i knew my employee number...i wouldn't have searched for it...Last edited by vistate1; 10-05-10 at 09:39 AM. Reason: i tried this
