So if one of them has FQDN "www" then the others are ignored. This is new
to me, but does make sense IMHO.

FQDN means "FULLY qualified domain name" which means that this field
should not contain just "www". And an FQDN is usually uniqe, so typing in
an FQDN in the search box should indeed directly go to that named object.

IMHO of course :)


Nevertheless, if this is not fully accepted, then there should be a
config option to toggle this behaviour.
