About Searching for Directory Numbers in Visual Voicemail
In Visual Voicemail, you can search by number for recipients for your voice messages. However, you can only search for the full directory number of the recipient. You cannot search for the local extension.
You can modify your Cisco Unity or Cisco Unity Connection configuration to enable Visual Voicemail users to search by local extension. You can create an alternative extension for each user. When you create an alternative extension, you select an action to perform on the full directory number. For example, you can select to remove all of a full directory number except the last five digits.
