Contact search listing priority
when I'm typing a new message using the + feature the priority order of the search makes no sense. say I have multiple contacts named Garry in my phone. 2 have last names, one does not. when I type 'Garry' into the search bar, the first 3 in the list are all one contact with different numbers, of a contact with the last name of xxxxn the second name is marie (which I can only assume is a message in which Garry was typed), then another name. at the very bottom is the contact I'm looking for, namely the one called Garry with no last name at all. in iMessage and many other apps where this is the case, the search results are contextual and alphabetical in priority, so multiple people with the same name would be listed with the best match first, then by alphabetical last name. it seems that in textra which I otherwise love to use the contact I'm looking for is burried beneath other non relevant contacts first even some without the search syntax even in the name. makes starting new message so my desired contact extremely annoying.

To make a quick for me to send messages to my family I proceeded each of their contacts with the letter x filed by the first letter of their first name. In trying Textra when I type XA for example it shows a random list contacts. You know those contacts have any EXs in their profile. I think when you're adding a text message the search through the contacts is flawed.
