 Hi Pidgin fellow developers,
 I found this ticket interesting to solve and thus I did some ground work.
 I have implemented the '''"search"''' feature by assuming the data set to
 be my phone book contacts ( currently considering only '''full name''' ).
 This is a great start and we can discuss more on the algorithms that we
 can employ to have the best im search feature. Please have a look at
 newest/top post here:['''algoandtech.tumblr.com''']

 Thanks,
 Harshal
