I'm finding that with v3.0.1 on Joomla that the AJAX search box (top left corner) is not returning all possible matches.

I'm still investigating, so I don't know the pattern, but sometimes it's because there are too many results and only the first are shown. More concerning is that sometimes there are contacts missing (the database contains 15 Robinsons, but 'Robinson' shows only 2 results in the AJAX search box).

Has anyone else observed this behaviour?

Ok, might have discovered something.

Typed "European", and the list looked like it only displayed the subset of contacts containing European within the previous cached list on "Europea"

ie. instead of firing a new search request on the server at every char typed, it seems that if you are too fast/not fast enough or whatever event, it decides to simply limit the search from within the cache it has already from the previous search.

If I'm right, we need a lot of contacts, so you have more than 15 (or whatever is the limit of the search) contacts on ABC%, but when you type the D of ABCD, instead of doing a search on ABCD% it simply limit the results on the subset of the first 15 ABC% that contains ABCD, and never displays a ABCD% that wasn't in the first 15 ABC.

It should be noted that I couldn't reproduce on the dev server, that is too close from the client, but could on the production sever that is 30ms away.

ie. a cache+timing issue, will be lovely to try replicating Can someone try reproducing with their datas?
