# Searchable Fields: Contact

Searchable fields for Contact Salesforce Classic include various standard and custom fields that are relevant to the contact. These fields can depend on an organization's configuration and customization.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: Salesforce Classic</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">The available fields vary according to which Salesforce edition you have.</td></tr></tbody></table>

![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-ai-search-264-0-0-production-enus/6a28c936-3b68-4186-bc09-7ab905f33ef3/images/icon_note.png)

Note If available, there’s an option when using enhanced lookup search to query all searchable fields, not just the fields checked in the Enhanced Lookup Search (Default) column in the table.

![Example](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-ai-search-264-0-0-production-enus/6a28c936-3b68-4186-bc09-7ab905f33ef3/images/icon_example.png)

Example When searching for a record using a phone number, enter a complete number. Searching for part of a phone number doesn’t always return the results you expect. For example, you search for 567 to find the phone number 1(555)123-4567. Search doesn’t find a result because it breaks up the number as 1, 555, 123, 4567. If you search for 4567, you get the expected result.
