Help Only show contacts with phone numbers?

Am I missing something or is that option gone? I know on my Bionic I was able to select "Show contacts with numbers only" but on this thing I can't seem to find that option. My Contacts are a giant mess cluttered with E-Mail account Contacts etc.

So....is there such an option?
 
I don't like having a bunch of stray e-mail address floating around in my contacts. Anyone know how to make it so my GNex only shows the contacts with phone numbers attached?
 
I had this same problem. The solution that I was able to come up with is to log into Gmail on my computer and look at my contacts. Then I created a new group called 'With Numbers'. I then checked the box of any contact that had a phone number associated with it (approx. 400) I then just added these contacts to that group.

This is more tedious of method than I would have preferred, but it worked for me when I went in to the people app, use the custom selection, and only display that group.

The only problem that I think this might cause is when you go to add a New Contact. If it's possible to add the contact to the list as well, then there shouldn't be a problem.

I'm sorry if this isn't very clear, if you have any questions, let me know.
 
Yeah I miss that too. I went through my whole list and "starred" the ones I wanted to show, then used that "show starred" option.
