What module(s) are you currently running? I find that the newer gspca
modules are more unstable than the older spca5xx on this box, for
instance.

Ekiga, 2.0.3+ anyway, does have a search feature but it's limited to 100
matches. Fire it up, go to your "phone book" and enter a * in the
bottom dialog. Should give you a list of 100 and a notice about
"refining your search". There's a drop down that defaults to "name",
but I believe you can search on "url" and "location" also.
