When searching contacts, if the word I am looking for is in notes, job title
or some other field, it doesn't get listed in search results. It is really
annoying, as when trying to find f.e. a make-up artist (job title), I cannot
find it without going through a hundred entries manually! (The location is
indexed by the way). Thanks for any help!
 
I don't have a solution exactly -- there are several fields in contacts that
don't show when selected for details view -- Job Title is one of them, so it
makes sense that search wouldn't work either.

Here's a kludgy workaround:

If you create a new mail message & click the 'To:' button, you'll get the
'Select Recipients' dialog. If you click the 'Find' button, you'll see a
field labeled 'Other'. 'Other' searches the following fields:

Job Title
Department
Office
Notes
Personal website
Work website

That should help narrow your search.
