New version deployed on July 31
We made some changes to the phonebook after reviewing customer feedback.
The screen shot below reflects the new look will surface later Thursday afternoon
The Labs phonebook (directory look-up) service is undergoing some changes. It incorporates some of the more advanced search techniques in the new "Elasticsearch" back-end engine.
By default, the phonebook performs a Basic search and sorts the results by name. If you're coming from the old directory search application and still trying to use its more limited set of functionality, you may be interested in sticking with the Basic search option.
Phonebook help can be found here. The more advanced capabilities of the new search tool are explained.
Elasticsearch is "a flexible and powerful open source, distributed, real-time search and analytics engine". For more information on this tool, go here.
