Yes. I had some iCloud syncing issues on my mac and deactivated iCloud and reactivated it. My safari bookmarks and tabs were syncing again, but it also duplicated my contacts onto my machine. I still have to resolve that. Any suggestions? Can I just delete the On My Mac copies?

I’m the wrong person to ask. I can’t get my Contacts to sync and it’s driving me nuts. I re-enabled iCloud on my phone yesterday only because when you disable it, it allows you to delete everything from the phone. I did that, confirmed that I had no contacts, pushed them over from my Mac again using iTunes, and it somehow restored the old data that was on the phone and not the data from the Mac.

My guess is that there’s an old copy of my contacts in `~/Library` from when I was using iCloud, and while Contacts is looking at the current version, iTunes is still using the old stuff for sync.

Honestly, I never use that stuff and don’t know how/if it works. I think if it’s gray, that means the abbreviation used to find the thing has been cleared. Do you have “Reset search after n seconds” enabled?

I do, 1 second. Maybe those shouldn't be related?

Maybe, but I don’t think separating them is trivial.

If you truly think something’s broken there, let me know.

Well sounds like there was an issue outside of QS's control, I get that. I still wonder why the ranker would score Sketchup higher than the contact Seth for the input "seth", that sound wrong to me. Contiguous letters at the start of a name should be a better match than skipping every other letter, right?

If you were starting from nothing, I suspect it would work the way you expect, but the number of times you’ve used something also influences the rank. There’s probably a record of you choosing Sketchup in the past, while there’s no record of you choosing the contact (since appears brand new to QS).
