== Searching for contacts by phone number ==

Searching for contacts by phone number can be done using the [http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/5.0-final/libosso-abook/OssoABookAggregator.html#osso-abook-aggregator-find-contacts-for-phone-number osso_abook_aggregator_find_contacts_for_phone_number()] function:
