At a Glance
The facts of Partner Filtering, version 0.1.0, in one place. Published by Viindoo.
How It Works
Type the number, pick the line.
The search offers it
Phone/Mobile sits alongside name, email and tax ID.
And the match comes back
Both fields searched at once, on the digits rather than the formatting.
The contacts themselves
Nothing else changes about how contacts are stored or read.
What You Get
A Phone/Mobile entry in the contacts search
Phone and mobile searched together, in one pass
Matches on a fragment, so the last digits are enough
Formatting and spacing ignored
Works anywhere the phone mixin is used, not only on contacts
No configuration, no new menu

What This App Does Not Do
Read this before you buy. Everything below is something the app deliberately leaves to another app or to you.
Normalising stored numbers is a data project - this makes the search tolerant instead.
That needs a telephony integration; this is the search behind it.
It searches the two Odoo already has.
Which is expected - use enough digits.

Instruction
Instruction video: Partner Filtering
Let's take a look at the following example to see how this module works. For example, a partner in Australia has a phone number of (+61) 288xxx9999.
Step 1: Set up the partner's phone/mobile number.
Go to Contacts, select the partner you want to set up, then fill in the partner's phone number/mobile number and press the Save button. You can Create a new contact if not available.
Step 2: On the search bar of the Contacts interface, enter the phone number/mobile number of the partner you want to find, ignoring the special characters.
The system will filter out exactly the partner you are looking for.
