Thu, 09 Apr 2026 21:57:58 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/7322 Don't do lookups on addresses for 1 or 2 characters Currently when you go to compose a message if you have any addressbooks defined in Turba horde will attempt to do address completion when you start typing in the "to" field. However, if you have a large LDAP or other directory server included in the list it will return enormous lists when you match on one or two characters. To compound the problem, LDAP will return results based not only on the starting character of the address but if that character appears at all in the address so typing an 'a' to start an address will return everything from alansmith to zumberaya. I would suggest holding back on any searches for address completion until the user has typed in at least 3 characters.

Unless we want to choose 3 characters for all installations, this should probably be implemented as a config setting for IMP.

Needs to be a config setting, but not entirely this simple. In HEAD, if the addressbook contains less than 200 entries, this entire address book is sent to the browser and the browser does the search entirely within browser-space. In this situation, there should be no limitation on the number of characters so the config text needs to make this clear.
