User level: Level 1 (9 points)Is there a fix coming for the indexing issue? Messages are always not finished indexing and you can’t search for people in the messaging app. You have to go to Contacts to find people.

Are you getting an error message saying that indexing is not complete or are you just assuming?
Check the settings for Contacts and Messages and make sure that Search is turned on for both the app and its contents.
The most likely way to fix this is to leave your phone charging overnight.

I have no such issues.
What troubleshooting have you tried?
