Seems he'll only add the records with email addresses and not phone numbers:

> And no, I have no intention of adding phone number search in the foreseeable future. There's a User Voice suggestion for that and a comment from me which boils down to "much higher work and much lower value"

Not sure how this is too much work unless everything is tightly coupled with relating an email address to everything in their database and not a keyword to search for.

Seems the difficult work is normalizing all of the data and making it easily searchable for all:

> I also can’t parse the, out with a regex like I can an email address as they don’t adhere to a consistent format. Further, the inconsistencies in format make searching difficult as they’d have to be “normalised” and that’s something that’s very country (and even region) specific.

Impossible to have an informed opinion while lacking all information about how the back end is designed and what the author does with their time.
