Searching For An Outlook Contact Across Two E-Mail Accounts: Is There A Better Way?

$

OVERVIEW OF MY SET UP

  1. OS:  Windows 7 Pro - SP #1.  64-bit.
  2. Desktop App(s):  Outlook 2013
  3. Online Accounts:  Office 365 Enterprise E3 for Business.  Hotmail account with OneDrive (former SkyDrive)
  4. Outlook 2013:  Two accounts::  My Office 365 account ("Business") set up as a Microsoft Exchange account.  My Hotmail account ("Personal") set up as an Exchange ActiveSync account.  This creates two separate "worlds" inside of Outlook for E-Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Tasks.

 

ISSUE

  1. From within the Tasks view of Outlook, the "To-Do List" provides me with a consolidated view of my Business Tasks and my Personal Tasks. I can easily search within this To-Do List view and my search will span both Outlook accounts. Brilliant!
  2. From within the Contacts view of Outlook, there is no similar consolidated view (that I am aware of) that allows me to see a combined view of both my contacts lists. Not so brilliant!

 

QUESTION

Some contacts can be considered Personal and Business yet I only stick them in one account. Is there a view or some other way from within the Contacts/People folder to do a people search acrossboth my Business account contacts and my Personal account contacts - similar to how it is done in the Task folder using the To-Do List?
