Hello.

I've noticed that in case a contact is missing email, last and first name, profile search skips it and does not show it in the search results even if non-empty custom fields fit into the search. I was able to overcome this by exporting the only filled field and then importing it back as a last and as a first name.

This type of contacts is created when I import full contacts and their spouse (which is presented only as a single field, which I loaded into a custom field).

Is this correct behaviour or is it worth mentioning somewhere?

In the traditional 'Find contacts' table those contacts appear as a completely empty row of table with just links 'View' and 'Edit' in the end.

Hi, Dave.

Then there is a discrepancy between the built-in search functionality (traditional 'Find Contacts' search shows those contacts) and generated search functionality (user-created profile search misses them).

Nevertheless, these contacts can appear only during import, and the cure is also import, so I do not think there is a need in code change.
