How to only search based on e-mail address and not aliases?

[Flancer]

I noticed that when searching the GAL, it also matches the search text to the aliases.

Is there a way to change the behaviour to only search within the e-mail address?

Looks like you are seeing bug 10456 - although this was fixed in v4.5.5 - what version are you running?

I have 4 accounts active and 2 of them with alias. On the web client there is no duplicates in the auto complete or when searching through the GAL.

However the alias shows up in the Outlook connector. Can this be stopped somehow?

I am using version 4.5.5.

Upgrading to 4.5.6 didn't work out the last time we tried.

Is this also fixed in version 5?

I can see a similar fix which proposes some fairly complicated and untried solution here How to remove aliases in GAL?

Also there is a bug Bug 15200 - Aliases not hidden in GAL filed but when I read it says "RESOLVED INVALID"? Which means what? The solution is not recommended?
