Hi all,

First off, the necessaries:

CiviCRM 1.9, MySQL 4.1 (I know, I know... it's our web host. I'd love to move to Civi 2.x)

Some of our contacts go by their middle names, i.e.:

J. Richard Jackson

Is there any way to have their middle name show up in the search results without creating a new profile? I've tried messing around in the .tpl files, but couldn't find a way to get it to display {last_name}, {first_name} {middle_name}

Thoughts?

Your best get is to do a search on the code for where sort_name is set (BAO/Contact.php, BAO/Individual.php) and fix those places to also include the middleName.

Search results displays the sort_name which is computed when we save a contact record. Fixing that will fix the display issue. It is not computed at the tpl level
