SharePoint PeoplePicker search not finding users

I have a SharePoint site configured with FBA.

If I enter a user into a people picker field and check their name, it shows up fine:

check names

However, if I click the "Browse" button (show above to the right of Check Names) and search for a user, nothing comes up.

browse

I have the people picker wildcards on the web app set to 

<PeoplePickerWildcards>
  <clear />
  <add key="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" value="%" />
  <add key="SQL-MembershipProvider" value="*" />
</PeoplePickerWildcards>

Which are the same as in Central Admin, where search seems to be working fine. Any idea what I'm missing?

Solution

  • I've found the issue.

    After opening the tab in another browser window and opening the JavaScript console, I noticed several errors preventing the page JS from running.

    I added the following to the handlers section of the web.config:

    <add name="ScriptResource" verb="GET,HEAD" path="ScriptResource.axd" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>

    This resolved the issues with searching for users.
