Clarify whether you are using Instant Search or Advanced Find... There is no
"Advanced Search." State what you mean by "address book" since Outlook does
not use one. Clarify the steps you are using.

Well no wonder. You would never use that interface for searching for phone
numbers. The Outlook Address Book view contains only names and electronic
addresses.
You search in the Contacts Folder using Advanced Find...
