Default Searching Contact phone numbers

What is the best way to search for the last 4 digits in any 'phone number'
field of a contact
e.g. Mobile: 01234 777661, Home: 01234 777662, Business: 01234 777663
Q. How would I search all my contacts for either '7661' or '7662' or '7663'

Many thanks

Mike

Advanced Find does that for me. You don't state your Outlok version, do
this is for Outlook 2003.
ToolsFindAdvanced Find. Change the "Look for" drop-down to "Contacts".
In the "Search for the word(s)" field, enter the four digits (7661, for
example). Change the "In" drop-down to "phone number fields only". Click
"Find Now"

Big help. This zeroed in on what I needed. You would not believe the
"incorrect" paths I followed.
