Hello,

I have found that the contact search API is returning more results than I expected. If I search for an organisation called 'my org' it returns 'my cat', 'my beer', 'my org' and 'another org'.

This is the code I have been running:

if (module_exists('civicrm')) {
  civicrm_initialize(TRUE);
  require_once 'api/v2/Contact.php';

            $params = array(
                    'return' => 'id',
                    'sort_name'=>"my org",

                    'contact_type'=> 'Organization'
            );
         //establish the contact ID of the selected Current Employer
print ("params<br>");
print_r ($params);
            $apiSearch=(array_values( civicrm_contact_search($params)));
print ("api<br>");
print_r ($apiSearch);

I tried display name which was the same and organization_name which only found 'my org' but I do have two organisations in my local install database with no organization_name - I'm not sure why but perhaps they were created in an earlier version of CiviCRM.
