Enhance contact search result

[schaarsc]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

• in the search result it is not clear if the entry is a user or a contact, "i" does not indicate clearly that this is a link to the contacts
• remote users are displayed as contacts in search result
• it is not possible to display "Personal Information" provided by users in their settings from local nor remote users

Describe the solution you'd like

Current solution setup:

• cloudA has users a1,a2,... and trusts cloudB
• cloudB has users b1,b2,... and trusts cloudA
• user a1 has a contact entry for c1 and b1 (unrelated to remote user b1 from cloudB)

now go to the contact search and you'll get the following

• a2/admin are local users, but the "i" is missing, it is not possible to display "Personal information" shared on the server
• b1/b1 one is remote, one is from the addressbook, but they are indistinguishable
• c1 is from contacts
• for b1(contact) and c1 a click to "i" will jump to the contact application
• for b1(remote) a click on "i" jumps to contact application and says "contact not found"

Suggestion

• for local and remote users display "i" and on click show the shared "Personal information"
  • or to distinguish between local and remote/federated users: "i" for local and "i^F" for federated users
• for contacts instead of "i" show the "contact symbol" and on click jump to contacts app

This should be possible. We have that info and we can show it.

b1/b1 one is remote, one is from the addressbook, but they are indistinguishable

Remote people should have a subline with their username@examplecloud.com

for b1(contact) and c1 a click to "i" will jump to the contact application

That’s correct.

for b1(remote) a click on "i" jumps to contact application and says "contact not found"

Obviously a bug which should be fixed. It should show a profile here, much like in a way how it would show profiles of other local users from the first point. Of course this has to be developed first.
