Enhancement request: Add display-only fields for contact matching
Created by: axon-obriend
I've added some address fields to the autocomplete display to assist with contact matching. Under Administer - Customize Data and Screens - Search Preferences, there are options "Autocomplete Contact Search" and "Contact Reference Options" that allow you to add primary phone number, and street, city, state, country and postal code fields to what's displayed when CiviCRM displays the contacts in the quick search and contact reference fields.
It would be helpful to be able to display some of the address fields on the contact matching screen, too.
I've just used this extension to help with the import of a big chunk of historical check data into CiviCRM. There's still a lot of dupes in the database, sometimes one person has 2 records - one with an old address and one with their current. Having the address information on the screen would help.
