Bug Description
I expect to be able use the "search for contacts" feature to find a contact by name without knowing their email/handle. However in the Chat->Search for Contacts dialog, the option for the sametime protocol (which is what I use primarily) is grayed out.
This used to work in Gaim/Pidgin.
How can I get contact search working in Empathy?

Yes, it's reproducible.
1) Enable a Sametime protocol account
2) Click on Chat -> Search for Contacts
3) Try to select the sametime protocol for searching, but it is disabled

Sametimes should at least support it: https:/

This probably requires libpurple work: many actions in prpls are not really suitable for use in Haze, since their API is essentially "here is a list of menu items" and "please display a window that looks like this".
I seem to remember contact search is one of these, in which case it'll need a "machine-readable" API in libpurple before Haze can interact with it.

i use ubuntu 14.04 and configured empathy with my gmail account. I am not able to search contact. Only able to set the status in top.
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
