Quick Tip: Search Through Your Call History

Here's a Quick Tip for your Windows Phone:


The Search functionality in Windows Phone 7 isn't exactly as versatile as some would want. Universal Search is a feature sorely missing and even searching through apps would be welcome (which is luckily on the way). However, wherever Windows Phone 7 does search it does it extremely well. Did you know that you can search through your Call History? Here's the breakdown:

1. Begin on the Start page (if you're not there yet, just tap on your  key.
2. Tap on the Phone Tile.
3. The first think you should see is a page entitled Call History. From there just press your key. Then the keyboard will pop up from below and a search field will drop from the top (see picture above for demonstration).

That's it! It's not exactly the same as Smart Dialing on other phones, but at least similar functionality is there.
