I am trying to search phone number field from user record from incident but only exact search is giving the right results if my phone is stored with "-" and I use / it does return right results. Does the user have to search with exactly as it appears on the user form?

Generally, the system will search for an exact match, so if the Phone Numbers is stored with hyphens (-) and you search with a slash (/), it won’t return the correct results unless the format matches exactly.

 

In most systems, you would need to search using the exact format in which the phone number is stored. If it's stored with hyphens, you’d have to search using hyphens as well. If you’re looking to make the search more flexible, you might want to check if there’s an option to modify the search settings or use wildcards to accommodate variations in formatting.
