Guys-Today we came across one issue wherein the user was using the contacts management template for his site. Normally the Members in the contact management web part are not displayed. We need to search with their first or last name to get all the details of the user.
The Contacts Management application template for Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 helps teams manage contact information that needs to be shared among team members.
The application template allows teams to enter contact information through a Web-based interface or through Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. When used in conjunction with Office Outlook 2007, team members can 'subscribe' to receive updated contract information whenever other users make changes to a contact.
We found by default the web part returns all names beginning with the letter R.
After researching we found that this issue can be fixed by modifying the results.aspx page.
You need to open the site using Sharepoint Designer (SPD2007)http://Mysharepointsite/contacts/Results.aspx
The list of contacts is provided by a data view web part which contains the following line:
<ParameterBinding Name="SearchQS" Location="QueryString(Search)" DefaultValue="r"/>
Remove the letter ‘r’ and refresh your page, now no contacts will show up by default.
