Why am I not able to search for individual contacts on my Lumia 1520 (cyan update) anymore?

[Windows Central Question]

Since a few weeks I can not search for individual contacts on my Lumia 1520 (cyan update) anymore.

The contacts are in the contacts folder in alphabetical order available, but once I klick on the search button and enter a name the message is "no contacts found".
I am using the phone since early this year and this function was available before.

It's working on my 1520.3 w/ 8.1 & Cyan...

Have you tried a reboot since the issue started? As a last resort, you may want to do a Hard Reset (after Backup, of course).

Type the name or the first few letters and scroll down and tap "Search Contacts". That's how I've always had to do it. If I don't do that, it will only search recent history. If there is a way to make it automatically search contacts from the phone window, I would love to hear about it.
