Filter issues with the Contact Selector look up box

Hi,

I have a Contact Selector control on my InfoPath form. In the AD I have 3 accounts mydomain\user1, mydomain\user2 & mydomain\user3. The name of all the 3 users are Test User. I have a DL "My Users" which has all the above 3 users added to it. I then added this DL to my share point site with "Full Control" permission. Using the contact selector search box when I try to search for "Test User", I do not see any records filtered. But when I explicitly add the above 3 accounts to the share point site & then filter using contact Search Box, I see all the above 3 accounts listed.

Before adding the above 3 accounts to the share point site, when I check the account name (by clicking the "Check Name" button on the right side of the control) the contact selector control successfully validated it against AD.

It seems that Contact Selector look up box is filters the users from the people list of the share point site.

Can any body tell me where does the look up box filters the account from? AD OR People List of the Share point site?

Regards,

Vipul Mehta
