Default Zimbra Email Search

Hi all,

often I am trying to find out who called me.
In case I dont know the telephone number I am searching my emails. The signatures in the email body often contains them.

Lets say, the telephone number is 004x (0) 1121 310231

If I search for 310231 I find all emails from this sender.
But if I use 10231 no email is found.
Same for *10231.

Any idea what I am doing wrong here?
(I am using ZD 7.1.2 build 10978

Thanks

Thanks phonix,

seems likt it is only possible to use the * after a prefix:

From the search tips:
.......
Using * as a wildcard in Search

The asterisk (*) can be used as a wildcard in a search to find content that contains words that have similar spellings.

Use the asterisk * as a wildcard after a prefix. For example, the search string do* returns items such as do, dog, door, etc.
......

If I use 31023* i.e. I find the emails.

Would be very nice if the * could be used in the beginning as well. Maybe an idea for a new feature?
