I've got my answer, I think. I'm using cn as identifier (__uid)

When I look for Joris, the Turba_Api::export('Joris', 'text/x-vcard')  
returns these 2 similar entries :
cn: Joris
cn: zzz Old Joris

I think the uid search is not an exact seach but a "contains" search,  
which I suppose is not valid behavior.
But then again, I'm not an expert so maybe I'm wrong ?
Is there a quick way to fix this (other than searching for contacts  
having their "cn" contained in another contact's "cn" and changing  
their __uid) ?

Thanks for your support.
