How to search for Google Contacts by full name?

Userlevel 1

Hi,

tried to search for Google Contacts to update them.

This works fine when I search by email or phone.

But I don’t get it by “Full Name”.

What is meant by “Full Name”? first name + last name

Are there any pre- or suffixes included?

What the separator between first and last name?

Has anyone an example for that?

Hi @Gerald

Full Name search would depend on how you have the data saved in GContacts.

e.g. If you only had the first name for a Contact, then the full name search for just a first name may match.

Thanks @Troy Tessalone

Will try that.

We store the contacts with prefix, first and last name and suffix.

Get back with the result.

Thanks, it worked after I included all the data we stored in the “full name” like prefix, separators, names and suffix.
