Help Contacts search

[gregolin]

Hi.
I'm sorry if these questions were answered before, but I really could not find it for Android Jelly Bean.
1 - Searching in the people app (contacts), it returns names without phone number. I read something like "display only contacts with phone number", but I think this option doesn't exist in Jelly Bean. Is there another option?
2 - When I search in that app (people/contacts) I see only one register for each people, but when I search in the phone app (dial), the same string returns many results with the same information (just repeating the name and phone number).
Could anyone help me with these problems? They're really bad to look for a number in my android.
Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the forums!

First, how many different contact sources are you using to display contacts? You can look this up with people > [overflow menu] > contacts to display

Hi!
Thanks for your answer.
I've configured the source contacts that I want to display and in a simple contacts list, everything work fine. The problem happens only when I do a search.
Thanks.

Okay, so when you search in the dialer for a name you return the same name with the same number multiple times?

Exactly... and the thumb changes the color for each result... and when a contact has a real picture, it displays only in one register, the others display the default thumb (the first letter of the name). It seems all others come from different sources.

Do you have some contacts duplicated among different contact sources? It's possible they may show up as one in the people app then be multiple in the phone app because of that?

Ops, I got it...
I don't have duplicated contacts... the problem happened because in the past I used Sync.ME in my contacts, and it puts a URL directing to itself in the contact details... I don't know why this causes duplicated contacts. After edit some contacts that had this URL (deleting it), the problem has not happened anymore.
Thanks.
