Searches in Thunderbird public address book (A.K.A. Corporate Directory) are not fully working. The search "." is not returning anything, it should return all entries.

I have 2 installations of SOGo, configured in the same way. One with small number of users, one with many (300+). In Thunderbird public address book (populated via SOGoUserSources) some searches fail when they do not in the webmail interface. Also, the "." search in Thunderbird does not return any results, but it does in the webmail. The installation with small number of users is fine in Thunderbird and webmail. I have added similar entries in LDAP and a search will match in the smaller user-base but not in the larger user-base.

I have no setting for SOGoLDAPQueryLimit. I can see all my entries in webmail, since it effects webmail as well, surely it can't be this.

Details:

Also, I noticed that in the Thunderbird public address book , when I type one character, e.g "a", it shows all entries starting with a (perhaps 30 or so). When I type "b", like-wise. But when I type "f" or "t", I get no results. There should be more results for "f" and "t" than the other letters, this should serve as a a clue.

Another example; I have an entry with display name (cn) "Fast Flow China - Calculation Centre" and Surname (sn) "Forwarding Account" and email (mail) "[email protected]". The search text "ffc"... will return a result. The search "Fast" and "Fast Flow" will not, but "Fast Flow China" will. The search "Forwarding Account" will not return any results. Again, all the searches work perfectly in webmail.

Conclussion:

At first I thought it may be a number of results limit somewhere. But I get 68 results for "c" and I should get 56 results for "Fast Flow". What I now think, is that the failed searches are those that take longer to process on the ldap server. Either it times out or is not returned in time for Thunderbirds' quick search filter.

Anyone else experienced this?
