Using special characters to control the search
Additionally, you can use comma (,) and a hash (#) to control the search.
A single comma (,) is used to separate the last name from the first name. A hash (#) is used to
indicate that we are looking for an exact match.
When you want to use a comma (,) or a hash (#) as part of the search input text, you have to use
a double comma (,,) or a double hash (##).
Examples
:
Order of conversations
On entry into search mode, the local conversations are ordered by their time stamp, i.e. most re-
cent ones are displayed first. Upon entering a search criteria, the local conversations are listed
first and ordered by their time stamp, the most recent ones are displayed first.
The LDAP results are listed after local conversations and are ordered alphabetically A to Z accord-
ing to their Conversation name. "Alphabetical order" means A-Z order based on the first character
in the name/names/topic of the conversation/contact. In the case of people's names, the order is
based on the first character of the first name and/or surname as displayed in the conversation list.
