RapDialer brings in Full text Search, Group Support, Call Timer for Windows Phone

When you look around for T9 Dialer App for Windows Phone, Rap Dialer is one of the best apps out there and in their recent update they have rolled out some really cool feature which makes this combination even more powerful. Read our detailed review here.

In version 2.0 :

Full Text Search : Not only you can search for name or number, you can also search for company name associated with the account or email id or anything mentioned in the profile.

You will need to enable this from “Settings>Search>Full-text Search”.

Bulk Email or SMS : You can initiate bulk sms or email right from here as it supports multiple selection mode. However, you cannot mix SMS and email together. To use this follow the steps as below

When a search result is displayed, tapping the name of contact will turn it into bulk sms mode. To switch to email, you need to tap on the email address that us displayed a long with the name.
You need to tap on the side of the listed items to select it. This is similar to select emails in Windows Phone.
A count is displayed telling you the total count.

Create a local group / add to favorite: If you email or sms a set of people often, you can create groups. As you select users for email or SMS, you will see that names appear on left. Long press and select add to group. At the same place, you can add to favorites.

The best part of this group creation is that you can backup them to Skydrive. This makes sure when you reinstall the app, you can have all your groups back.

Call Reminder : A long press on any of the listed contact gives you two more options. One it allows you to pin to start, and second it allows to set timer to it. This means if you need to call somebody in five minutes, it can remind you back.

Search Results Order is according to last call time. Let’s say you want to “Ashish Mohta”. Now, when you input “Mohta”, contacts with the same last name “Mohta” appear. But if you dial “Ashish Mohta” once and search “Mohta” again, “Ashish Mohta” will be on the top of the list now.

Other Changes :

Improved UI design.
Search result will be ordered by last call time.
You can customize contact item view by going to Settings>Appearance>Contact List and display contact name in bigger font.
Customize your context menu (Settings>Appearance>Context Menu). Many might have felt that it has way too many option.
Customize tile color and title to distinguish RapDialer from system dialer.

Add “Pin to Start” function (pls check context menu).
You can choose to auto sync your contacts only once every day.
Share contact’s whole profile page or multiple contacts info in selection mode more convenient.
