Why I can not see my contacts from google directory until searched?

[AC Question]

So the problem is that the contacts are not shown until I search them in android. Everything is accounted for when I look them up in browser but when looking at my phone there is nothing until I try to search names.

Welcome to the forums. Do your contacts show up in the Contacts app?

None at all. Only if I start searching by name I start see them.

Have you tried re syncing the contacts?

Welcome to the forums. What phone do you have? Try this. Open your Contacts app - tap more/three dots top right - contacts to display and see what option is checked on that list.

Lets just say that I have tried quite a lot of things with it. Usually it is Samsung Galaxy A5 2017 where it is needed. I need to find the "fix" for the work I do.

We need to have the names/numbers come out of directory automatically. But so far only when you search the name you will see the names but no numbers. So either we need 3rd party software or there is easy fix for it that I do not know of.
