Fix the search
The search function is broken. It cannot find anything that exactly in my database. Using wildcards or not - it doesn't work. I even tried to search for a whole record as is (phone number field) - doesn't work too. Yes, i give the full phone number in the search string. I tried asteriks also. Nothing found.

my search only worked after doing TWO things
1) clear search history
2) ReIndex
You find these options under main SETTINGS, Search - there are 3 options under Search heading -

Reason this is not done automatically is how do you implement it so that feature is not on all the time draining battery. if yiou look at googles on gesture search you have to reindex that yourself after every app you install.

Sorry, found the solution. It's necessary to reindex the searching in the options menu. It's strange that it was not done automatically. Or maybe it could be done while using the search function. A user may not know that in order to use search ability he has to click "reindex" in options. So many times I searched for a string and saw no results...and believe to Memento that there are no results trully. It lied as i see now. :(
