andersborgabiro opened a new issue #215: Best approach for searching on phone number
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-contacts/issues/215
 
 
   # Feature Request
   
   ## Motivation Behind Feature
   
   The rationale for a best effort approach is e.g. reading up SMSs as "An SMS from Jim Smith: bla bla bla".
   
   ## Feature Description
   
   A method for searching for phone numbers that given any compressed number (no white space) but with or without country code provide a safe method for getting search hits.
   
   ## Alternatives or Workarounds
   
   Currently I do this, but it's not very safe:
       loosify(_number.substring(3))
   where loosify inserts "%" like "%1%2%3%4%". This might only work for Android, but my app is currently only for Android anyway.
