Exchange Server - Search for fax number ?

Asked By ThePro

Hi,

Exchange 2003 single server and Outlook 2007 clients here.

We have a bunch of contacts in a public folder. If we type an office phone
number in the search box the result is there. But if we type the fax number
it does not find it. Is there any way to make the fax number field
searchable ?

BTW I tried with Outlook 2010 beta and it does not work either.

Thanks.

I have been doing Exchange peer support for nearly 15 years and I have never
heard that asked for before.  The only way I know to do that is with an LDAP
query tool like LDP or a custom script, sorry.

We always learn new stuff ! ;-)

It is for the girl at accounts payables. She received the bill for a phone
line and she wanted to know where this line was located. She searched for
the phone number in our "internal contacts" folder and she got no results;
it happened to be a fax line at a remote branch.

Thanks anyway.
