Match numbers to contacts more fuzzy

[nomeata]

Hi,

in my (imported) contact list, I have “human readable” numbers such as “07032/12345” or “0049 170 12345”. But openmoko (at least the messaging part) only finds contacts that have the “official” version of the number (++4917012345).

It would be better if it could match numbers to names a bit more fuzzily. I have hacked some support for that to openmoko-messages2, but this should probably solved somewhere more central. Anyways, this should give some hints, and can be used by people who want this behaviour. The patch (against SVN rev 4522) is attached.

Thanks,
Joachim

Example implementation, openmoko-messages only

Actually, the offical form for a number has only one + (+4917012345)

New version, also replaces numbers by names using the same number normalization

New version, now complete WRT openmoko-messages

Hi,

I think I now normalized the phone number everywhere in openmoko-messages2 with the latest patch. But unfortunately, the matching for the notes view is done by libjana, which passes it off to evolution-data-server (e_cal_get_query), which probably only supports string comparisons.

Where do we go from here?

These seem to be complete.
