Extra info on the contact autocomplete list

[resposit]

I tried to customize $config['contact_search_name'] as:

$config['contact_search_name'] = '{name} - {department} <{email}>';

But my departments are very long strings and get truncated in the autocompletion popup.

I tried to split the strings on multiple lines, like:

$config['contact_search_name'] = '{name}<br>{department}<br>{email}';

But, apparently html tags don't get recognized.

Is there any workaround ?

That would require some changes to the list, just breaking the line would not look good, imo. It makes sense, but have to be done properly.

I'd probably do this with a separate option (contact_search_description) and if specified it would add an extra line below the name and email, styled differently. So, you'd set $config['contact_search_description'] = '{department}'.
