## "contact\_freetextsearch" MDO List

Provider for selecting a Contact - without person search.
Does keyword matching and scoring across multiple
string fields. Checks name, department, soundex fields.

User's own contacts, recently added + modified contacts, contacts modified or created by user.
Matches on word boundaries or at start of field are scored extra highly.
Contacts with lots of activity or lots of recent activity (according to the SAINT counters) are also
preferred.

Returns contact items only: Id = ExtraInfo = contact\_id, Type = "Contact", StyleHint = "stop"

Stopped contacts are marked with stylehint = "stop" (but item.deleted = false)

Implemented by the <see cref="T:SuperOffice.CRM.Lists.ContactListFreetextSearchProvider">ContactListFreetextSearchProvider</see> class.
The name of the MDO list is 'contact\_freetextsearch'.
