click general info tab on top, then click contacts 'tab'
you will see the search for box.

can you share link of page so that i can go through and tell what issue is ? — Justin Lambert
first you need to click into that field then you can sendkeys to that field .(is this auto filled option) — Justin Lambert
the send keys doesn't work. Please look at the instructions above on access the page under 'how to access that webpage' thanks alot! @JustinLambert — Rahul SK

I thing You need to change you Xpath.Because whatever you write XPath this is for a label you need to write for input control so i update your code.

IWebElement newlyaddedcontact1 = driver.FindElements(By.XPath("//input[contains(@class,'MuiInput-input')]")).ToList()[0];
JavascriptExecutor executor1 = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
executor1.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", newlyaddedcontact1);           
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].value='"+name+"';", newlyaddedcontact1);

Please Try this code. I write in C# language.
