Change the minimum number of characters in names for searching

By default, Member Manager requires users to enter a minimum of two characters when using the Directory Search window to search the organization directory for names. This limit is not appropriate for all languages. By modifying the pickersettings.properties file, you can lower the limit to one character.

Perform the following steps:

  1. Edit the pickersettings.properties file in the following location:

      Windows™: wp_profile/PortalServer/config/lotusworkplacelib/pickersettings.properties}}}

      UNIX™: wp_profile/PortalServer/config/lotusworkplacelib/pickersettings.properties

      i: wp_profile/PortalServer/config/lotusworkplacelib/pickersettings.properties

  2. Change the 2 at the end of the following content to a 1:

      people.view.1

      =WMM.1,com.ibm.workplace.people.picker.data.value.service,str.directory.name.wmm,com.ibm.wkplc.people.picker.workspace.WmmPickerAdapterFactory,50,2

  3. Save the properties file.

  4. Restart the WebSphere Portal server.
