Search for number field box for create account screen

When assigning a new phone number, it's a relatively common request to search for a particular number (usually to try and spell something, or match a local and toll-free number) - anywhere from the last 4 digits to the whole 10-digit number.

Would it be possible/feasible to add a search box on the create account screen, so a request to match a certain set of numbers could be easily met (especially for the long list of toll-free, and the presumably long list coming soon once the new CLEC API is in place)?

Great thought. Something that could use leading and trailing wild card too.*0743 for trailing example

• 734* for leading
• *734* for within
• ???734* for 4th-6th digit match.
• ???734???? for 4th-6th digit match.

This would be pretty hard to do. Right now none of our providers with APIs provide this us with the ability to search their numbers or this kind of functionality.

I was thinking Brandon could do this on the UI side... once the numbers are pulled into an array via the API (as is likely already done) you could then provide a search option to see if any of the numbers pulled contain the search string (then restrict the existing drop down to only those numbers). I don't believe any additional functionality with the API would need to exist. (However, I'm not a Java coder... I only play one on TV!)

Another thought. The API pulls the numbers in, and they display in a grid where each number is clickable to get selected. With all numbers listed on the screen, the Reseller's browser can do the searching :)

Imagine each number is unique and clickable. (Like selecting a date on a pop-up calendar.)

+1, right now I am using my browsers ability to Inspect Element and then searching the available numbers in a particular city. I would love to have useful number search filter, at least within individual cities. Being able to query all of the numbers from a particular area-code or all toll-free numbers would be optimal.
