I've a feeling we may be at somewhat of a cross-purposes here gentlemen. (smile) None of the choices available on the rotor will take you to the next telephone number - which would just be a sequence of digits and possibly a few hyphens interspersed among them - on the page, but let's not worry about that too much. The idea, to recap, is a general screen search tool, in other words, a means of scanning the output pages for a string of unicode characters. You'd be able to conjure up search within any app, in any screen (hence the term general) and assuming the success of the search, shift focus on to your quarry in one single leap, as it were.
Again, do please feel free to ask if you're unclear about anything.
