Ummm.. kind of.  I mean, it says "Enter the first 3 digits of the 
persons last night" and you enter them via the keypad, it then searches 
for the names, and says, "Calling <so-and-so>".  I think I've seen this 
feature on a phone system I called once, but I can't remember exactly 
how it worked.  I'm pretty sure you just entered the persons last name 
in by digits.
