A search and duplicate check interface for Contacts.

Mostly it's a graphical wrapper around Z.Contacts.search/2.

Search on Mount

The following "pre-search" parameters are accepted on mount. If you pass these fields as URL parameters, a search will be attempted automatically when the liveview is mounted.

• first_name
• preferred_name
• last_name
• phone
• email
• street
• city
• zip
• country

In addition, these "search filters" are accepted on mount:

• limit (integer) - number of results to return
• similarity (float between 0.0 and 1.0) - how "fuzzy" you want the results to be. 1.0 is an exact match, and 0.0 is basically useless :)

Portico Callback

If you wish, you can add a "select this contact" option for each returned contact, which will send the contact ID back to an arbitrary Portico module / script. If you wish to do this, you must add both of the following parameters:

• fm_module - the name of the FileMaker file
• fm_script - the name of the script to be called.

The link will send the portico_contact_id as the script parameter, in an href link called select this contact.
