Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
NC has a search button to search quickly for information from address books. By now it searches for names and emails, and shows avatar, name, email and link to details.
Please, add the functionality to search by phone numbers and add another field - phone number(s) which sometime is more relevant than email.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add the field to show phone number(s). Add the search functionality across phone numbers.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Ideally, this can be defined by admin which fields:
- to search
- to show in the contacts search bar.
Additional context
Search by phone numbers should be added to the global search as well.
