Fullname not searchable in Contact quick find

Posted on by 2,541

Hello,

I've an issue since this morning i can't figure out ...

On my test system, it's possible to search for a contact by the FullName as usual.

On my production system, i got complains from my users because the search using the fullname was returning 0 results.
So i dig a bit to find out why, i've check the quickfind view, compared it with the same one on the Test system => Match perfect.

I checked the XHR request to find out and here we go the filter doesn't contains the condition based on the fullname:

<div id="effectiveFetchXml" requiredMask="2">
	<fetch distinct="false" no-lock="false" mapping="logical" page="1" count="250" returntotalrecordcount="true">
		<entity name="contact">
			<attribute name="parentcustomerid" />
			<attribute name="statecode" />
			<attribute name="lastname" />
			<attribute name="jobtitle" />
			<attribute name="firstname" />
			<attribute name="emailaddress1" />
			<attribute name="be_country" />
			<attribute name="telephone1" />
			<attribute name="be_businessfunction" />
			<attribute name="be_hierarchylevel" />
			<attribute name="contactid" />
			<attribute name="processid" />
			<attribute name="lastname" />
			<attribute name="firstname" />
			<attribute name="parentcustomerid" />
			<attribute name="jobtitle" />
			<attribute name="be_businessfunction" />
			<attribute name="be_hierarchylevel" />
			<attribute name="telephone1" />
			<attribute name="emailaddress1" />
			<attribute name="be_country" />
			<attribute name="statecode" />
			<filter type="and">
				<filter type="or" isquickfindfields="true">
					<condition attribute="owneridname" operator="like" value="my contactname%" />
					<condition attribute="lastname" operator="like" value="my contactname%" />
					<condition attribute="jobtitle" operator="like" value="my contactname%" />
					<condition attribute="firstname" operator="like" value="my contactname%" />
					<condition attribute="emailaddress1" operator="like" value="my contactname%" />
					<condition attribute="parentcustomeridname" operator="like" value="my contactname%" />
				</filter>
			</filter>
			<order attribute="lastname" descending="false" />
			<link-entity name="account" to="parentcustomerid" from="accountid" link-type="outer" alias="a_dc9b80f8c78146d89fd6a3b610836975">
				<attribute name="statecode" />
				<attribute name="be_industrysegment" />
				<attribute name="be_industry" />
			</link-entity>
			<link-entity name="workflow" to="processid" from="workflowid" link-type="outer" alias="processidworkflowworkflowid">
				<attribute name="versionnumber" />
			</link-entity>
		</entity>
	</fetch>
</div>

    Hi Clement,

    Have you added the field "Full Name" to "Add Quick Find Columns" in Quick Find view.

    Please refer the link below:

    Hope it helps.

    Hi,

    as Suggested by Nithya, add the Full Name column in quick find view.

    Hello Nathya and Harish,

    You are both right. It was slightly more complicated here :-).

    I had to change the property of the FullName field to make it searchable then it was displayed in the list of field in the quick view. And then i was able to set the field to not searchable in the entity fields level again ...

    A bit tricky ...

    But thanks !
