Description christine 2005-03-30 22:31:42 UTC 
snapshot: 
evolution-2.2.0.0.200503210400-0.snap.novell.0.1.  GW Novell Address Book
is in my autocompletion folder

I've tried both first and last names to match those names and these are
valid users that are found when I search the Address Book using Contacts. 
These are just not showing up in Evolution when I use autocomplete.  

2 searches not found so far have been: tim draper and martin sommer.  No
idea if there is any rhyme or reason to these 2.
Comment 1 Sivaiah 2005-04-04 07:39:52 UTC 
you can complete any other contacts ? I can complete both the contacts
you mentioned. There seems to a timing issue with new name selector
code  while auto completing from large address books over network. Can
you do the follwing Just enter tim in To field and wait for 1 or 2
seconds and press space bar after that and tell me if you see "Tim
Draper in auto completion list shown.
Comment 2 christine 2005-04-04 16:53:25 UTC 
yes i can complete many other contacts in the gw addr book. these are
the only 2 i've noticed of people i've sent email to. to reproduce
make sure neither are in your frequent contacts
Comment 3 Sushma Rai 2005-08-18 11:37:55 UTC 
Tested with 2.3 and works for me.
Also since now we maintain the local cache, it should
not have any timing issues.
Reopen the bug if you are still seeing the problem.
Comment 4 Nagappan Alagappan 2005-08-31 07:02:23 UTC 
Reproducable with evolution-2.3.8.0.200508260453-0.snap.novell.11.1. Reopening
the bug.
Comment 5 Sushma Rai 2005-08-31 08:35:44 UTC 
I get both the ids..
can u enable address book debug environment variable and 
provide the debug messages printer there?

I would like to know, if it is reading from cache or from server.
If reading from server, how long it took to return the result
and number of matching contacts found.
Comment 6 Sushma Rai 2005-10-03 06:43:07 UTC 
re-targetting as I couldn't replicate.
