275326 - 'mail.addr_book.quicksearchquery.format' not in standard LDAP format

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, defect)

Description

[Jeremy Hurst]

I have been trying to use 'mail.addr_book.quicksearchquery.format' to make all 
the searches within Mozilla act the same. Unfortunately the 
quicksearchquery.format property is not a standard LDAP formated field.

The default is: (or(PrimaryEmail,c,@V)(DisplayName,c,@V)(FirstName,c,@V)
(LastName,c,@V))

This is easy to disect, but if you try and add any more fields to it, it fails.

I've tried playing with: ldap_2.servers.<name>.attributes.custom1, 
ldap_2.servers.<name>.columns, ldap_2.servers.<name>.basicSearchAttributes, 
ldap_2.servers.<name>.filter1.string

There is virtually no documentation on the net 
about 'mail.addr_book.quicksearchquery.format' and the documentation that does 
exist refers to web pages that either don't exist, or are just as useless.

This bug is aimed to have 'mail.addr_book.quicksearchquery.format' changed such 
that it fits the LDAP standard, but it is also to find out how to 
use 'mail.addr_book.quicksearchquery.format' in the mean time. Any ideas?

I'd like to have the following LDAP query as 
my 'mail.addr_book.quicksearchquery.format' query...

(&(mail=*)(|(cn=*%v*)(sn=*%v*)(givenname=*%v*)(mail=*%v*)))

Where %v is the text typed in by the user.

Maybe the refs from bug 169872 comment 1?

MozillaAS v1.7.x is not supported anymore.

Reopen if you can reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.9.
