Business and Personal Accounts look up

I am trying to add a look up to accounts in a visualforce page, however this look up only display business accounts, and I need to display both (Business and personal Accounts).

PAGE:
<apex:page controller="MyController" sidebar="false" showHeader="false">
    <apex:form >
  <apex:inputField value="{!referrer.Parentid}" />
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>
CONTROLLER:

public with sharing class MyController {

    public Account referrer{get;set;}
   
    public MyController() {
        referrer = new Account();       
    }

}

On this post (https://success.salesforce.com/answers?id=90630000000hq1AAAQ)
they mention that changing the param in the url of &cnpa=0 to &cnpa=1, so I guess there must be a set up somewhere in salesforce to change this value?

Hi David
yeah the problem of that is that we have more than 50k records, so that wouldnt work. I was able to amke it work adding a javascript and modifying this way the url of the pop up window.

so cnpa=0 to cnpa=1

my javascript is:
function init() {
    //alert ("running");
    var src;
    var links = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
    for(var i=0; i<links.length; i++) {
        if(links[i].getAttribute("title") == "Parent Client Lookup (New Window)"){
            src = links[i].href;
            src = src.replace("cnpa%3D0","cnpa%3D1");
        links[i].href = src;
            //modify value of cnpa to 1
        }
      //console.log(src);
    }  
}
window.onload = init;

However i am not very happy of using this solution as if something change on salesforce the new url might not work

I am quite surprice that there is no param somewere were we can set up this value to be 1

According to this, the standard ParentId field does not support Person Accounts:

You could certainly create your own custom lookup that supported them though, but I don't know if that's an option for you!
