Efficient way to query for calls to or from a contact or number?

I see the operations on a "call"-- list/get/etc.

Listing calls only provides a few parameters to filter with-- start time, end time, etc.

I want to filter by contact or by number, or maybe by other stuff. I want searchability like you have in your app.

I started just doing post-filtering, but the request to list calls is quite slow and I feel like this use of it is taxing of resources. Is there a better way?

Also will likely be looking for a way to do something similar with contacts. (though that call is a lot quicker)
