Search by contact name

[ferradeira]

For example, John (First name) Smith (Last name) in contacts name, If I search by contact name—for example, if I search for “John”—all names that include “John” are displayed; the same is true for “Smith.” But if I search for John Smith, nothing comes up.
Is possible to search in Contacts using the first name and the last name?

Thank you

Now it shows all names that include John and all names that include Smith. If I want only John Smith, I try the search with "John Smith", but this way it shows nothing.

It's weird, since simple phrase searches like Timothy Jackson (without quotes) should find all matches even without the configuration mentioned previously here.



In this case I would recommend trying using search filter to find a record, like:

The way it worked here is to use the + sign: +John +Smith
This way it worked. It only shows John Smith
