Going to a name in an address book

I have some address books with a lot of names. I used to be able to open the Contact sidebar, then click within an address book, type a letter, and it would take me to the first entry in the address book beginning with that name. For example, if clicked within the address book list of names, and typed "B" it would take me to "Baker" if Baker was the first name in the address book beginning with a "B" It will no longer do that. Now, I have to scroll through all of the "A" names until I get to the "B" names. How can I enable that again? I'm using Windows 11. This has worked the same way for years and years and now has stopped. Help!
