This whole business about Siri and asking questions and whether or not it looks into your contacts is so strange. I find that recently, Siri has been making phone calls to my contacts without asking for confirmation. On the other hand, if I ask Siri for a phone number which I know is in my contacts, more often than not, it says I found such and such place is this what you want? And it is been a search of the web that turned that place up. And in some cases, it is the wrong place, not the one in my contacts, but another one in town. It makes no sense. This is another area where Apple had a good thing and has not developed it. Google eats apples lunch,, as you say in this area. Mary
