I have a problem finding a contact when the second contact has the same first name. Does anyone know how I can look into this?

Hi Davers

Thank you for your reply.

On closer inspection I found that it was a problem elsewhere with a search and replace, where I had used the wrong character to look for spaces and replace them.

Hi @rosco1956 

Good question.

Generally you want to use unique values when doing searches, such as a phone number or an email address.
