Default Autocomplete from address book is only based on text before @ symbol?

Hi everyone

We've been using the Zimbra AJAX UI in anger for the past few weeks and despite running into a few things that already have bugs filed, there's one thing I've been finding a bit irritating.

It might just be me, but when typing into the To/CC/BCC boxes, it seems like the auto-complete list is only based on the text that comes before the @ symbol.
So if I start typing a domain name: oursuppliersdomain.com then I get no matches

Is that correct?
Are there any plans to change that behaviour?
That behaviour is not what I was expecting from these particular auto-complete boxes and I expect other users would find that too.

Also the auto-complete seems to include contacts that have been moved to trash. Is that correct?
Even when I've removed those contacts from the trash, they still appear in the auto-complete list

Any comments/suggestions/existing bug reports?

Cheers, B

There have definitely been some auto-complete changes / issues with the 6.0.x releases.

I've actually never tried auto-completing off of the domain name, but just tested and at least with 6.0.6.1 it appears you are correct; it doesn't look to anything past the "@" symbol. Not sure if this is the desired behavior or not. You should check bugzilla and file a bug/RFE if you don't find anything.

Can't find the exact bug but I believe there were some issues with deleted contacts still showing up in the auto-complete results. I think it was fixed in 6.0.6, but this release had a bunch of auto-complete issues of its own. So, if you are going to upgrade go to 6.0.6.1 or wait until 6.0.7 is released is another week or so (5/31 hopefully).

Ok fair enough, just wanted to check that our installation wasn't messed up.
I had to do a disaster recovery after our upgrade to 6.0.6 failed thanks to a bug when upgrading a server using LDAPS, and there were a few strange issues going on for a few days after that disaster recovery.

I'll probably upgrade to 6.0.7 when it lands.

EDIT: nothing in Bugzilla that describes what I'm seeing so I'll wait for 6.0.7 to see what's been fixed before reporting any new bugs

Cheers, B
