How do I search for a phone number

[Mike]

I am using Microsoft Outlook 2002 (10.6515.6811) SP3

Problem
======
I am unable to search my contacts for a telephone number

Analysis
=======
I had forgotten the name of a person but I had their phone number so I
searched my contacts for this phone number with no result. Later I found
that the name and number WAS in my list of contacts.

Solution?
=======
How do I search my list of contact for:-
Q1. a phone number
Q2. a part of a phone number (last 4 digits say)

This makes me furious!

Tools-> Find-> Advanced Find...
Here you can search on each field. The tab Advanced even allows you to
search on parts of a string.

Thank you Robert.
It is a shame that the ordinary 'find' doesn't work.
