Search Contacts by Partial Phone Number
asked 2015-03-16 11:03:36 +0200
It is possible to search for phone numbers since 1.0.3.8. But the search will only find phone numbers when they are entered exactly as stored in the phone.
Feature request: Please make the search working for parts of phone numbers.
Motivation/Example:
Phone numbers have a specialty: They are very similar at the beginning (Country Code, Area Code) and differ mostly at the end. To make things worse, you can enter phone numbers in three different ways: 004917XXX, +4917XXX or 017XXX - they will all work.
So when looking up that number ending with 8765, I'll have to enter the whole +49177XXX8765, then maybe 0049177XXX8765 and then even maybe 0177XXX8765 to see the contact - or just to make sure, that I really do not have it on the phone. It is obviously clear that a partial phone number search would be of great help for the user. The partial phone number search could also be a part of a global search.
