Description Brent Kearney 2003-02-08 09:38:33 UTC 
Description of Problem:  Evolution's contacts program does not allow one to
enter "Some Busniess Name" as a name in an LDAP address book.  cn="Some
Business Name", sn="Some Business Name" would be acceptable to LDAP, but
Evolution insists on "Word2, Word1" format. This is anoying -- "Blackcomb
Lodge" must be listed under "L", and displayed as "Lodge, Blackcomb".

This setup also disallows one-word names, since it assumes that "sn" _must_
mean surname.

I guess this is by design.
Comment 2 Sushma Rai 2005-08-18 09:06:18 UTC 
Creating a contact with full name as "Some Busniess Name" works with 
file as name as "Name, Some".
Same as issue in #202140.

The contact with full name "Blackcomb Lodge" works fine with save as name
"Lodge, Blackcomb"
And now contact view doesn't have buttons to search for the contacts.
Searching for Lodge , returns the result.

creating a one word full name contact is working fine.
Creating the name with just SN also works, tested with personal contacts.

because of the first issue, marking it as duplicate of #202140.
