      Description

      It can be impossible to select organizations with relatively short names (e.g. 'ACT') from shared address, quick search or other auto-complete fields - because only the first 10 results are shown. So if there are > 9 other contact records with that string in their name - the organization you're looking for might not show up.

      Modify the autocomplete query to show any exact matches FIRST.

      ---- Original Description ----
      Hi

      When you / edit a contact / use shared address / look up the contact who the address will be shared with;

      The shared address lookup only lists ten contacts with no futher searching facility.
      This can cause issues.

      As an example we work with an organisation called ACT. When we use the lookup to share the address more than 10 other contacts are listed first therfore you cannot then see ACT and choose them as the shred address contact.

      Yours Oliver
