Can I search for only a phone # in Outlook Contacts?

[Guest]

I previously used Microsoft Works Address Book; I was able to search by a
phone number to find additional information on my contact person.
I haven't been able to do that with Outlook Contacts so far.
I can search by name or address, but at times I need to search by phone
number.
Is it even possible to search Contacts by phone number in Outlook?

Yes you can. Use Find and then the Advanced Search: put in the phone number
and search on phone fields; however, I think it matches literally i.e.
0800713 will not find 0800 713 i.e. the embedded space is not ignored.
