I don't know why the order would be important in that config. The changes I made to my autocomplete settings were to attempt to make the behavior more like that of other clients. I did two things. The first was to make it look for pattern match only from the beginning of a search string. That way a search for 'ran' only returns RANdy and RANdall, not bRANdi, bertRANd or bRANdenburg. The other change is that by default, autocomplete searches for matches in the email address and the display name. I changed mine so that it searches both first and last names instead of the display name. I should note that while these changes work fine in the SQL autocomplete, LDAP ignores them and still looks for pattern matches anywhere in the stringe, and only in email and display names. I haven't found where to make LDAP autocomplete mimic what I've done for the SQL book. This is another reason I went with the compose_addressbook plugin with the LDAP book, and limited autocomplete to SQL. -- Arne Berglund System Administrator, Internet Services Lane Education Service District Eugene, OR ______________ _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/users/
