How do i search my phone through Cortana ?

[Windows Central Question]

Hello everyone,

Just got my new Lumia 950 XL few days. I won't expand it here but there are few things i enjoy, others that i don't but the most annoying for me is the lack of global search through the phone.

When i hit the search button, Cortana pops up.

So i want to search for a contact : i type Mike, all i got got is search Mike on the web

I want to search for an appointment with M. Brand whicj i set up in Outlook Calendar as "Appointment with M. Brand" : i type Brand, nothing. i type appointment, still nothing

I want to search for music which stand on my phone memory. I type the name of it, nothing

Really ? Am I really bad at this or is Cortana unable to search through my phone for simple stuff ?

Thank you all for your help

That's one of the many things Microsoft chose to remove from Windows Phone. Just like the clean look Cortana had before they made it look like the mobile bing result site. -_- But it's not said that this rather important functionality won't return.

Thank you for your reply. It is indeed a shame that such a standard feature is unavailable
