Default 'All Contacts' view not showing all contacts

Default 'All Contacts' view not showing all contacts

I can only see a few contacts in the view "All Contacts" even though we have hundreds in our database. These few contacts all have their 'status' (a user-defined field) set to 'inactive' or none selected. I have tried to see if editing the "All Contacts" view might fixed it, however it made no difference. Everything looked correct. Please offer a fix.

Thanks! :)
