improve contact search in Xero
Please improve the Contact Search function so that when a user types the first few letters of a contact’s name (for example, the first three letters), contacts whose surname begins with those letters are prioritised at the top of the search results.
At present, search results often prioritise contacts where the same letters appear within an email address or elsewhere in the contact record, making it more difficult to locate the intended contact quickly.
Prioritising surname matches would make the search function more intuitive, significantly improve efficiency, and better reflect how most users search for contacts.
