<rant> Such an incredible waste of resources! For years, I have puzzled about the use of the "Nickname" field, and now I see that it actually fits into someone's unbelievably obscure search algorithm that nobody in the known world has ever relied upon. Why anyone would go to all the work described here to organize each card to be searched by these esoteric methods is totally beyond reason.
All that is needed is a simple alpha index and search. If the developers are infatuated with exotic search methods to pad their resumes, fine, but leave us real world users with a simple alpha search. Getting carried away with complicated search methods as described above is complete nonsense!</rant end> -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/956618 Title: Nickname not over-riding names in email address To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/thunderbird/+bug/956618/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
