I find calling people is rather central in the whole 'phone' business.
It should be as easy as with other phones, or seeing as it's Ubuntu
actually the aim should be even higher. The dialer is a numeric one that
looks for a match in the 'phone number' field, why not change that to an
alphanumeric that matches with number or name? It doesn't have to be
difficult!

Title:
  [Dialer] ubuntu touch bad dialer/contacts integration

Status in Ubuntu UX bugs:
  Opinion
Status in dialer-app package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I' using my ubuntu phone as a telephone mostly! I find it somewhat
  annoying, how much steps have to be taken to select a contact from
  contacts. These are the steps:

  1) Hit Contacts
  2) Hit the magnifying glass
  3) Enter filter string
  4) Select contact
  5) Select number
  6) Hit the green Button.

  This is 6 Buttons - as much as a telephone number has (in Austria)

  I'd like to have a filter field in the dialer app, with contacts
  popping up as I enter the filter string. Contacts should be shown in a
  tree view with the numbers visible. If I hit a number, it will be
  dialed immediately.

  A bit the same, when using the 'recent' view of the dialer or
  favourites.  If you select a call, it won't be dialed immediately. The
  number is transferred to the dialer field and you have to hit the
  green button.

  PS: I'd like to contrubute to the touch project. I'm a software
  developer (mostly doing C/C++/Qt). If someone would guide me, I'd do
  some work.
