Address Book doesn’t search phone numbers, and sometimes this is frustrating. What the Script does Search for a phone number (or a fraction of) in Address Book contacts, then selects the first person matching criteria. How-to install the script Save the script in “~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Address Book” folder (create it if necessary), and it will appear in “Script” system menu when running the Address Book.
System script menu can be activated from “/Applications/AppleScript/AppleScript Utility”. Just a quick note… In fact in Address Book there is a way to look for phone numbers… by looking for the trailing 3 numbers, in reverse order.
That is: suppose that we have a number trailing in “…254”, we’ll search for “452”.
