Why is the default phone dialer so limited?

[Windows Central Question]

Default Phone Dialer so Limited

It doesn't have inline contact search while I dial the number. IE, I can get Sally's number by dialing her name or part of her phone #. Instead I'm forced to go into contacts and manually search and dial from there...so archaic!

Is there any good alternatives that supports the dual SIM and inline contact search? Rapdialer doesn't seem to play with dual SIMS.

Thanks All,

Re: Default Phone Dialer so Limited

It's called T9 dialling and it's not supported by the default dialler, Hopefully we'll see it in Windows 10. If not, uservoice will be the best place to request the feature.
