Can't find people who don't have first and last name. [answered]
asked 2013-12-27 16:14:39 +0200
At first I thought the search is broken because it couldn't find all my contacts. I noticed root reason to be that they have only "nickname" (kutsumanimi). They don't have firstname/lastname (etunimi/sukunimi) at all. Those contacts show up just fine in bigger list, but I can't find them with search (näytä haku/etsi henkilöitä). These contacts are imported from old SIM card and include some operator defaults as "Asiakaspalvelu" and "Numeropalvelu".
Expected result: People search should include nickname into search.
Is there a fix already coming for this? At least 1.0.2.5(Maadajävri) doesn't contain it.
I also have contacts that don't have names or nicknames at all. I have stored company phone numbers in such way, that the company name is stored in the "companyn name" -field and now those cannot be found either. I can access those contact cards after I have called the number to fix this, but not before.

The search utility in People finds this person when I type either 'Jas' or 'Höh' to the search box. - Is the reported problem related to importing the contacts, somehow?
virmajor ( 2013-12-30 15:31:57 +0200 )editVirmajor: For me it was a contact I imported from N9. I tried your scenario, but you can't create contacts that only have company name and a phone number in them.
Milo ( 2013-12-30 15:37:29 +0200 )editYes, so it seems to be. I would think it is an uncommon use case. Can you perhaps use the company name as the last name, as it seems some kind of name is required?
