I was wondering if the iPhone search function allows Iphone users to also search text messages. The results I get are only from emails, contacts notes etc. but not text messages. Thanks!

With the iPhone's (after 3.0) Spotlight feature, no you can't. But you could (if not done already) jailbreak the iPhone & download QuickGold (which was essentially Spotlight before Apple brought it themselves) which allows you to search texts as well. (I used to have it on my 2.2.1 iPhone).
As far as I know though it is not available for 3.0 just yet. They are trying to integrate QuickGold into Spotlight.

You actually cannot search messages.
