Title: Change the Find Contacts search results using Default Contact Search Profile
ThreadText: # Change the Find Contacts search results using Default Contact Search Profile
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2024-08-04)
  
  So I want to change the default view when for search results when I use Find Contacts.
  
  It appears I should be able to do this by setting the Default Contact Search Profile (ADMINISTER > CUSTOM DATA AND SCREENS > SEARCH PREFERENCES).
  
  However the issue I have, is that I can not create a profile that shows any thing other than LASTNAME,FIRSTNAME. Regardless of what fields I add to the profile, only lastname,firstname show up in results. (see attached screenshot)
  
  Even if I select the pre-defined "Name and Address" profile that came with civi, it will only display the same lastname,firstname and there is no address column.
  
  So I guess my question is, what am doing wrong with my profile that is not allowing it to be used to display the find contacts search results?
