iPhone 8 users after upgrading to latest iOS 11.2.1 are facing issue with
Spotlight search. The spotlight is not showing result for contacts. However it
was working before the upgrade. Seems like something has broken the feature in
new iOS release by Apple in iOS 11.2.1.

while but will come back after sometime. Not all iPhone 8/7 users are reporting the issue but

spotlight. Wait for a few minutes and all the contacts must appear now. Later,
you can enable other searches if you want.

all contacts. Go to ->Contacts App, click on Groups and choose to ‘hide all
contacts’ then switch back to ‘show all contacts’.
