Thanks Brian. Here's what I did,

Open Outlook

Click New to compose a new Message

Click on To to select contacts

under the 'Show Names from the:' dropdown list,choose 'Contacts'

under 'Type Name or Select from list:', enter the name to search for.

The contacts input by Outlook can be searched by firstname.

But the contacts input by OWA can only be searched by lastname.

If I add a new personal contact in OWA, and try to find it by typing
the firstname in Outlook (by default), the newly added contact won't
show up. However I can find it by lastname.

If I add a new personal contact in Outlook, I can find it by
firstname, but not last name.

How are you performing the search?
