When searching the Global Address List (GAL), click on the Advanced Find link. This allows you to enter search criteria in one or more fields including Department and Title.  

Note that the search has to match starting with the first word. Searching on "Library" in the Department field does not work because the department name is "University Library".

This advanced find capability is not available for personal contact lists/address books. With these, though, in your Contacts view you can display the Department column and sort by that.

How do I restore my deleted contacts or distribution list in Outlook? (link)

Deleted contacts and distribution lists end up in the Deleted Items folder but the Deleted Items folder is normally sorted by the date the item was received. Because of this, deleted contacts and distribution lists are not easily found.

To easily find the deleted contacts and distributions lists start by opening the Deleted Items folder. Point the mouse at the column header that says "Arrange By". Click on this column header if "Show in Groups" does not have a check mark by it then select it. Next click "Arrange By" again and select "Type". Now the items are sorted by type, and you can hide all of a given type by clicking the triangle icon at the left of the type name. When you hide the other types, it will be easy to find any deleted contacts. Click on the triangle icon at left of the Contacts header if you don't see the individual deleted contacts. Then find the lost one and drag it back into your Contacts folder.

To return the Deleted Items folder to the default view click the "Arrange By" header and select "Date". Click again to disable "Show in Groups" if you would not liked them grouped.
