Feature. Request: Start filtering contacts (🔎) on keyboard input

For users with a physical keyboard, it would be very handy if "search contacts" started when typing and letter.

which letter you mean? I see just an empty square. Is it an emoji, or some non-UTF8 char?

Please excuse the misleading title, the character is just a looking glass; I wanted to represent the "search" function.

In several apps, the search is triggered when any key on the keyboard is pressed. I found this very practical. Alternatively, first hitting a certain key, usually "S" can trigger search, if there are other functions that should have shortcuts. (For example, "F" for switching to favorites, "G" for switching to groups, etc, then "S" for staring search.)
