Description Erik Quaeghebeur 2016-06-10 11:34:51 UTC

Contact completion returns results in the following order: LDAP, recent, addressbook.
Given that the address book contains a person's ‘curated’ addresses, it should come first. Given that LDAP search results usually result in huge lists that are updated as search results come in, it should come last, otherwise it pushes the other suggestion sources down, making it hard to select them quickly, leading to wrong selections, and resulting in wanted addresses being way down an enormous selection list.

Reproducible: Always

Tested again with recent version. The issue persists; the order is LDAP, recent, addressbook(s), indexed. Addressbook(s) should come first.

Thank you for reporting this issue in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version?

If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "REPORTED" when replying. Thank you!

I can't test LDAP completion anymore, but the other parts of this report seem to be mostly fixed. As the linked bug covers LDAP, I'll close this one.
