1.0 Problem/Motivation
If there is an Existing Contact field with the widget type set to Autocomplete, it's usually possible to search for contacts on the form, using any of the data selected in the Contact Display Fields section. However, if Contact ID is added to the Contact Display Fields section, it's only possible to search with the Contact ID; entering any other data will return all contacts (the list is truncated so only a handful are actually displayed).
For example, if I include Display Name and Phone Number in the Contact Display Fields, I can search with either the Display Name or the Phone Number, and both work correctly. If I include Display Name and Contact ID, it breaks as described above; only the Contact ID can be used to search correctly.

I've attached the YAML from a webform which demonstrates the issue. Here are the steps used to create it:
3.0 Proposed resolution
It's possible to work around the issue by never including Contact ID among the Contact Display Fields for an Autocomplete Existing Contact widget.
It would be much better if it could be included, with behaviour like Phone Number and other available fields. I haven't figured out what would need to change in the code to achieve this.
This was tested on Drupal 9.5.11 with webform 6.1.7 and webform_civicrm 6.2.4.

@jude.hungerford - here's the PR for the fix https://github.com/colemanw/webform_civicrm/pull/923. Can you please review it?
Thanks.
Yes, I've tested this change and confirmed that the results are correct.
Thank you!
