LO54464: TYPE-AHEAD DOES NOT RESOLVE TO NAMES IN THE DOMINO DIRECTORY - O NLY LOCAL NAMES

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• In Notes 8, Type-Ahead only seems to work with names that are in
  the Local
  Address Book.  It does not find users in the Domino Directory.
  If you press
  F9, Enter, or a Comma, then the name is resolved, however the
  drop-down list
  does not work with names in the Domino Directory.
  
  NOTE:  It may appear to work with names in the Domino Directory.
   However, this
  is due to the name most likely being found in the Recent
  Contacts list.
  
  1) Launch an R8 Client and Server with several test users.
  2) Make sure none of the test users are in the Local Address
  Book (including
  the Recent Contacts list).
  3) In the Location Document for this particular Test User, under
  "Recipient
  name type-ahead:" set it to "Local then Server" and "Activiate
  Recipient Name
  Type-Ahead:" can be set to either "On Each Character" or "On
  Delimiter"
  4) Compose a new memo and start typing another user's (or even
  the Test User's)
  name in the To: field.  Type ahead does not bring down the
  drop-down list.
  
  For Step 5, you may choose either step - do not do both.
  
  5a) Either press F9, Enter, or enter in a Comma, and the name is
  resolved.  Now
  send this Test message and this user's name is now in the Recent
  Contact List.
  Compose a New Memo again and start typing this user's name in
  and the
  drop-down list will show this user's name now.  Or...
  5b) Close out of the New Memo and Discard without Saving.  Now
  open the Test
  User's Local Address Book and add a user and save them.
  6) Create a New Memo and start typing the name of the newly
  added user and the
  drop-down list will show this user's name now.
  

Local fix

• Workaround 1:
  
  Customer stated that they changed the "Home/mail Server:" under
  the "Servers"
  tab in the Location document to the user's Mail server and the
  issue was now
  resolved.  However, testing on three separate machines in three
  separate
  environments showed that this issue still occurs regardless.
  
  Workaround 2:
  
  Add the names of the users that you would like to use type-ahead
  for into your
  Local Address Book.
