Spotlight search for phone no

Apple iPhone - Spotlight search for phone no

Should Spotlight be able to find a contact from their phone number?

I thought I did this before but I just tried it and it doesn't work. I tried the last four digits and then the 7 digit ph. no. with and w/o a hyphen.

Nothing was offered. I do have Contacts checked in Settings> Spotlight Search.

It does find Contacts by their names. Just not their numbers.

It does not work on my phone either. If you go to settings > general> spotlight search >, phone number is not listed as an option.

The only way I've ever been able to get it done is via the desktop.

I can search for any digit in the phone number.
