Summary of the issue you are facing:
Clicking on the system address book/contacts in the upper right corner by the profile, does not display a search function or input. It only displays a function to “Invite guest”. The Nextcloud session has multiple users in the same group. Even as administrator, unable to view or search other contacts. Am I missing a setting somewhere to activate this contact search feature? I have other Nextcloud instances running and this function have no issues on the other instance. Please help.
Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):
-
Click on contacts in upper right corner.

### Tips for increasing the likelihood of a response
* Use the `preformatted text` formatting option in the editor for all log entries and configuration output.
* If screenshots are useful, feel free to include them.
- If possible, also include key error output in text form so it can be searched for.
* Try to edit log output only minimally (if at all) so that it can be ran through analyzers / formatters by those trying to help you.
