  1. You can configure profile to use as contact search. You can also control the result columns in profile search. To display contact result by default you can append force=1 in url.
  
  Ref: <https://docs.civicrm.org/user/en/latest/the-user-interface/searching/#views-for-display-contacts>
  
  2. You can create smart group which holds all the contacts and use the contacts link from Manage group page to use as a url.
