Hi, Problem: TB can't seach based on second word in name, lastname or email fileds (or any other field) For example Name: John Mary Lastname: Smith Email: john.mary.smith@email.com If you enter "mary" in to, cc or bcc autocomplete will find nothing since that word is second in name field and not first in email field. If you enter "smith" it will find contacts only because lastname has first word "Smith", but if you enter "john" it will find contact based on 2 fields, name and email address. Can this be fixed so it's searching all words in fileds and all parts of email address?
Hi Mihovil, thanks & very true. Tracked here: Bug 558931 - Autocomplete does not show all matching address book entries (implement partial/substring matching for each of multiple search words; find second words etc.)
