Better duplicate / deduplicate detection for merge and fix

I'd like better visibility into how the merging works. Which entry wins? What order is used for phone, email, addresses if different? Which photo wins? AND.... ability to UNDO a merge. I accidentally merged 1 contact because of similar first name with no way to undo it. I had to recreate contact #2, and manually remove the merged info from contact #1.

I want the option to click on two or more names in the full contact list to merge them. If a name comes in wonky, only I will know it's a duplicate.

But I have multiple Allisons in my address book it thinks I should merge, but they are all different people. So that merge all button is super scary to me right now. Only first names should not recommend a merge

I would also like to see this happen, especially when it comes to email: JSmith@gmail.com and John Smith as a contact should populate the option to confirm they are in fact a duplicate and the same contact

Also, I'd vote that "Smith, John" and "John Smith" should match.

Find Duplicates sometimes failing to find obvious matches

For example, there are two R.F. Culbertson's in my account. (There were several others that I merged by hand before realizing I should leave some for debugging evidence)
These were likely created from the recent LinkedIn initial sync (which I did several days ago), but the merge & fix found plenty of other duplicates so I'm not sure why it didn't find these.

Some contacts had first and last name matching but because there was a middle name on one of them they did not match as duplicates. I’d rather have too many duplicate matches and tell the system it’s not a match, than not know if there is a duplicate.
