Contacts - Improve List Search When Adding Contacts

[user203674]

Is it possible to change the interface so that when you type into the lists selection box is uses Contains or Like. Like it used to. Currently you have to be exact. Example - If I want to add to every list that contains WLS I have to type Welcome - WLS then Lapsed - WLS then Sustainer - WLS where before I could type WLS and select all 3.

We're updating the status of this idea to more accurately reflect its current status with our engineering team, and also made slight changes to the subject line in order for it to be more easily found. We can't guarantee a commitment to deliver on this feature request, but it should indicate some awareness that we have heard your feedback and could be taken under consideration for a future release.

I've also pinged the person in charge of the Contacts portion of our tools and services, so they're explicitly aware of this parity issue in the newer contacts import system.

Before the recent update, when I was bulk importing contacts by pasting them into Constant Contact, I was able to begin typing the name of a list, then select the list as it appeared in the screen. 

Since the update, that feature has gone away. Now, I have to scroll through all of my lists to find the one that I want to import my contacts into. As a compeny with a lot of lists, this signifigantly slows down our process. Having the ability to search for a list and see my options update in real time would be greatly appreciate.

Now you don't have any idea how many contacts are new and others updates. Plus I liked when you could type in the list you wanted instead of scrolling up and down to find one but if you have multi lists take a long time. This last update is not effective.
