## Known specifics

**The phone filter is not suitable for every search.** A value without an operator is compared against the whole stored string: a company whose number is stored as `+1 (202) 555-0123` matches that exact string, but not `12025550123`, because the plus sign, spaces, parentheses, and hyphens are part of the value. The filter also checks only the first number stored on a record: if both a work number and a mobile number are stored, searching by the mobile one returns an empty list. To find a company by phone number in any format and by any of its numbers, use [Duplicate search](/docs/duplicates).

**When to use search.** For compound conditions use `POST /v1/companies/search`. See [Search companies](/docs/entities/companies/search).
