That seems to be the case. The ID _is_ 3.

I tested something different and searched for the email rather than the
the UID, otherwise no change. That worked perfectly fine, the Contact
was returned.

So the problem seems to only exist when searching for UID.

Just a wild guess: Maybe there is a number versus string problem
somewhere in the underlying code? Maybe the UID is expected as numerical
type somewhere?

thanks,

Klaas
