When you set up an LDAP account, you can view and search for contacts on your
company or organization’s LDAP server. The server appears as a new group in Contacts.
Since LDAP contacts aren’t downloaded to iPod touch, you must have an Internet
connection to view them. Check with your system administrator for specific account
settings and other requirements (such as VPN).

When you set up a CardDAV account, your account contacts are synced with
iPod touch over the air. If it’s supported, you can also search for contacts on your
company or organization’s CardDAV server.

Searching Contacts

You can search first, last, and company names in your contacts on iPod touch. If you
have a Microsoft Exchange account set up on iPod touch, you may also be able to
search your enterprise Global Address List (GAL) for contacts in your organization.
If you have an LDAP account on iPod touch, you can search contacts on your
organization’s LDAP server. If you have a CardDAV account, you can search contacts
synced to iPod touch, or searchable contacts on a supported CardDAV server.

You can search the first, last, and company name fields. As you type in the search field,
contacts with matching information appear immediately.
Search contacts: In Contacts, tap the search field at the top of any list of contacts
and enter your search. (To scroll quickly to the top of the list, tap the status bar.)
Search a GAL: Tap Groups, tap Directories at the bottom of the list, then enter
your search.
You can’t edit GAL contacts or save them to iPod touch.
Search an LDAP server: Tap Groups, tap the LDAP server name, then enter your search.
You can’t edit LDAP contacts or save them to iPod touch.
Search a CardDAV server: Tap Groups, tap the searchable CardDAV group at the
bottom of the list, then enter your search.
You can’t edit searchable CardDAV contacts from the server, but you can edit synced
CardDAV contacts on iPod touch.

Contacts are included in searches from the Home screen. See “Searching” on page 36.
