I am using an autocomplete Contact Reference field to look up organisation contacts.
I have a Contact named "University of Pretoria"
Typing  "University of Pretoria" into the field never finds the record. (It does however find other records with the words "university" and/or "of"  eg University of Johannesburg and Gordon Institute of Business Science)

However if I type in just "Pretoria" then it finds the record   

Any ideas?

Hi Pete

There are 34 records that meet the criteria (contact type + group + "university" and/or "of").
The list of records that is returned in the dropdown is alphabetical - alphabetically the 'missing' contact is 27th in the list.
There are other contacts with higher ID's that are being found.

Whether I enter "University of" or "University of Pretoria" the list of records that are returned doesn't change i.e it doesn't return the Pretoria record but still shows records that do not have Pretoria in their name.

The dropdown only shows 10 records - if there a way to make it show more that might fix the problem...?
