[Bug 1476833] Re: wrong contact name is displayed for phone number

 

When ContactWatcher performs a search for "+352 661 123456", address-book-service is returning both PersonA and PersonB. 
ContactWatcher uses always the first match.

Title:
  wrong contact name is displayed for phone number

Status in Canonical System Image:

Status in address-book-service package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  In my address book I have two contacts with very similar numbers.
  (last 6 digits changed in the example)

  Person A:  +352 661 123456
  Person B:  +352 691 123456

  When I receive a call or try to compose a message to Person B, the
  phone always displays the name of Person A. The same happens in call
  records.

  The only way to have the name of Person B displayed upon calls or
  message sending is to delete Person A from the address book.

  This is very strange, because phone numbers are prefix codes, thus
  ignoring a leading digit in a phone number seems like the wrongest
  thing to do in this context.

  The bug is still present in the current MX4 image (revision 3)
