Previous versions searched anywhere in the text - windows desktop search
does the beginning of the word.
if you know the area code, you can use instant search - the colon after Tel
identifies the numbers as a new word for search. If you don't know the area
code or have too many in that area code to 'eye ball' for the right one,
you'll need to use advanced find.
In Advanced find, you need to use the advanced tab - search the Message
field for the partial text. I don't know why the subject and notes or
frequently used fields searches don't search the message field.
In the future when you create the telephony links, include the number (as a
second entry) in 202-234-5678 format in the body so search works.
Tel:202-234-5678 converts to a hyperlink - does you dialer work with it?
(Dots also hyperlink but my test searches didn't find the last 4 when I used
numbers).
