When I add a new contact and try to search for them they do not come up. They
are added because I can find them if I go thru the list. All the contacts
from before today still search fine. Any thoughts?

How are you trying to search for them? If you're using the option to
complete
email addresses after you start typing them, this option doesn't use the
contacts
list. Instead, it uses a separate list of the last 29 addresses you sent
messages
to. This list is very hard to edit; it's easier just to send messages to
the 29
addresses you want on this list.

If you'd rather use the contacts list, start a new message but don't type
any
part of the address. Instead, click on To:.
 
Probably because they haven't been indexed yet. If you select advanced
search options, you can opt to search unindexed entries as well.
