Hi all!

I´m new with PSI; we are testing Openfire 3.4.1 with spark, but spark is not very fine. We want to give a chance to PSI, but we find difficult for our users to find contacts. Openfire server is integrated with AD, and users are used to search for new contacts in AD. With PSI, yo have to select discover services->select user search and right click to open a new window i.e. "search.openfire.es", where you finally can search your new contacts...

Is there any way, like in spark, to search for contacts more directly?

With the latest beta searching is very easy, but you can only search for contacts inside your rooster (very good idea, indeed, but what about potential contacts in AD, not yet in the rooster?)

Best regards and thanks in advance

I have this feature implemented in the Barracuda branch of Psi (non-public).  Two seconds after typing in a search, the server is queried and the results are temporarily shown in the contact list.  Maybe I'll eventually merge this feature into the mainline Psi.

The trouble with this feature is that it makes sense if you're in an organization, but it probably makes no sense if you are using Jabber more generally.  For example, if you use jabber.org, you probably wouldn't want automatic searches against users.jabber.org every time you type something.  I'm not sure what to do about that yet.
