Is there a way to limit searchable contacts in Messaging?

[badduck]

For example under phone contacts I can merge contacts, remove dupes or choose to only view one contact source such as sim card or gmail.

In the stock messaging app it seems like every single contact on the phone is searchable and there are many dupes and unwanted results. Does anyone know how to limit the searchable list?

I've also noticed this too, tried for ages to find a solution but with no luck I'm afraid. It seems that there is no way to limit which accounts the stock messaging app gets contacts from, I have been dealing by just leaving a thread for each of my important contacts.
