WordCast

I’m wondering if you can recommend a plug-in for me. I have a
directory of about 500 contacts and I would like to display them in a
search-able fashion on my Wordpress site.

Do you know of any address book or directory type plugin that would
allow users to search based on a key word from a specific contact? I
know I can paste the info into a page but then when something on the
page is searched for the result brings up the page and not the
specific location on the page. With a list of 500 that type of search
is quite useless. I guess there is the option to put each contact
into a separate post but there has to be a better way.

Any help is appreciated. Keep up the good work.

We recommended WP Contact Manager or a Business Directory plugin
