Description
Users with many contacts (and there are many such Users) would benefit from an advanced search feature.
Zimbra enables users to search by field:
Example: #homecountry:Canada
Finds all contacts who reside in Canada
And can search mutiple values:
Example: NOT #homecity:Vancouver Canada
Finds all contacts who have the word Canada mentioned, but don't live in Vancouver

Start by locating the existing contact search implementation and its tests, then determine how field filters and multiple values should be parsed and verified; done means the documented examples work without breaking ordinary contact searches.
