Adding new searchable attribute to Outlook GAL Find feature

[wkndhkr]

Through Outlook 2003 you are able to search or "Find" users based on certain
pre-determined attributes such as First name, Last name, Title, etc. We would
like to add the telephoneNumber AD attribute to the list. We have already
added this attribute to be used by ANR following the steps outlined in the
article below which I received from a previous post. Does anyone know where
this modification can be made so it exposes this field in Outlook when you
use the Global Address Book > Tools > Find feature? Any info or direction
would be appreciated. Thanks.

It's called Ambiguous Name Resolution (ANR). To enable ANR on a particular
recipient attribute, like the phone number in this case, you would need to
modify the Schema. No, you don't need to add any attributes. Just change the
properties of the attribute you want to use to be indexed (faster searches),
replicate the attribute to the Global Catalog, and enable ANR.

When searching the Exchange Global Address List with Outlook 2003, you
have the option to Find someone based on certain attributes such as Last Name,
First Name, Title, Office, City, etc. We would like to add the Phone
number attribute to the list of available search attributes. Does anyone know
how/where you can modify these available attributes? I have not been able
to find anything on the Web so far. I know it was doable back in Exchange
5.5 and believe there must be a way with 2003. Thanks for any help or
direction.
