Description

[Rolf Gloor]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5 GTB5
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 3.0 RC1 build1

If Name sequence is not entered "perfectly", quicksearch will not work!
(No results)





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter search name
2. press enter
3. watch result list
Actual Results:  
For "Muster, Peter u. Heidi" (Lastname: 'Muster', Firstname: Peter u. Heidi) none of the following search terms work:
- Peter Muster
- Peter, Muster
- Heidi Muster
- Heidi, Muster
- Muster, Peter
- Muster, Heidi

Despite showing as 'Muster, Peter u. Heidi'

Only the following works:
- Muster Peter  
- Muster Peter u. Heidi

So this search is not of a big help!

Expected Results:  
quicksearch to find also

- Peter Muster
- Peter, Muster
- Heidi Muster
- Heidi, Muster
- Muster, Peter
- Muster, Heidi
- Heidi Peter
- Peter Heidi
- and similars

quick search is on Display Name. And search term is a single string, so only searches which are strict substrings of Muster, Peter u. Heidi return return results. "Muster, Peter" works for me if "Muster, Peter" is in display name

closest dupe is Bug 298438 -  Address book quick search should search in whole address card
