I would like to offer that functionality in my system - and I'd have done it
by now if there was a prompt where Allison asks "press 1 to search by first
name, press 2 to search by last name". But I don't think that prompt exists.
Can someone explain how (or just tell me that it does not exist) [EMAIL
PROTECTED]
gives the search option?
I am not familiar with [EMAIL PROTECTED], but this is how you do a dial-by-name
directory:
;first name
exten => 1,1,Directory(default,default,f)
;last name
exten => 2,1,Directory(default,default)

digits are

Directory.
