Email command searches contacts poorly
I list all my contacts in Gmail by <lastname>. This presents a problem with the email command. The email command apparently only searches at the beginning of the text, with no option for a wildcard search anywhere in the contact name. It would be much easier if the contact search would allow me to search anywhere in the name.
For instance, if I have Smith, John, and I have 3 Smith contacts, but only 1 John contact, I should be able to type "email hello to john", instead of having to type "email hello to smith".

Inappropriate?Furthermore, the list of contacts presented to you are not sorted by frequency of use as they are in gmail. So if I search for my girlfriend's name, I am presented with a number of other email addresses belonging to other people with the same name, but not hers, even though it comes up first within gmail since I email her regularly. Typing in her last name to try to narrow the search down doesn't seem to help.
I’m frustrated
