I expect to be able use the "search for contacts" feature to find a contact by name without knowing their email/handle. However in the Chat->Search for Contacts dialog, the option for the sametime protocol (which is what I use primarily) is grayed out.
steps to reproduce 
1) Enable a Sametime protocol account
2) Click on Chat -> Search for Contacts
3) Try to select the sametime protocol for searching, but it is disabled

This used to work in Gaim/Pidgin.

using empathy 3.3.1 
ubuntu oneiric also present in precise version.

That's because telepathy-haze doesn't implement it yet: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43825
