Address Book name entries matching when composing emails
I just imported my Google Contacts into Thunderbird (102.11.2) Address book. I verified that entries contain a first name, last name, and one or more email addresses. Yet when I try to address an email within Thunderbird WRITE dialog by entering a few letters in the 'TO' field, all that shows up are email addresses that match....no names. In other words, if I type 'John Jones', only email addresses that happen to have those letters appear; not the entry for John Jones that contains his email address.
Do I not have some setting set correctly, or is this a limitation that matching only occurs within the email address itself (which i hope is not the case).

check setting>general under the reading&display section to set that.
Not sure what setting I am supposed to see or check under that suggestion. Nothing I see seems to fit.
But I do see a setting in the individual card entry that changes the behavior when using it to address an email. It is the option titled "Prefer display name over message header". When checked, and typing a few letters of the in the TO field, it resolves to "ALEX1234@gmail.com" without showing me the name as I am typing.
If UNCHECKED, it shows the full name and resolves to "Sampson, Alex <ALEX1234@gmail.com>" which is what I want.
Now, I don't see a global way of turning OFF all those imported entries. I see some discussion that others wished for such a global switch as well. Is there anything on the import I could have set perhaps??

I was referring to the setting that displays names instead of email address.
