Description chethan 2004-06-18 09:19:06 UTC 
Evolution is not searching GAL contacts for "Any field contains", "category
is" and "Advanced.." search options.


Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to conatacts view. Select GAL.
2. Give search condition based on the options "Any field contains",
"category is" and "Advanced..".

Actual Results:
Evolution does not show the results.

Expected Results:
It should show all contacts which satisfies that search condition.

How often does this happen? 
Everytime

Those searches are disabled on purpose. Sysadmins don't want the
users doing arbitrary searches on the GAL, because the GAL is only
optimized for certain kinds of searches.

So the fix is to make the UI not offer those searches (maybe via
a static capability?). Or to just ignore the problem...
Comment 2 Sushma Rai 2004-06-23 06:16:45 UTC 
In the case of these searches, error message 
"Unable to perform search.
The backend for this addressbook refused to perform this query."
is displyed. 

So I feel, this isn't a bug.

Error message is not thrown for search based on "categories",
and in this case also, search fails but doesn't cause any problems 
or doesn't display wrong data to the user.

Categories option not working defect is filed with ID #60402.
