Default How to Find contacts from phone numbers?

I'm astonished to discover I can't use Find to get contacts from their phone
numbers without going into the advanced dialogue. I need to do these lookups
all the time. Surely there must be some easier way? Can I change the fields
'simple' search looks in by default? (Currently I can't even find a list of
which ones are searched.) Or can someone suggest another approach.

Thanks

No, you need to use the Advanced Find dialog.
