Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) provides a new command, SEARCH, which lets a
mobile-device user perform a Global Address List (GAL) lookup from a device. With SEARCH,
you no longer need to move contacts into your device’s personal contacts area so that you can
have them with you on the road. As with a number of other new mobility features in Exchange
2003 SP2, you need the Windows Mobile 5.0 Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP) to
use the GAL lookup feature.
The GAL lookup is well integrated into the mobile device’s UI and easy to use. GAL lookup is
installed and enabled by default and can’t be turned off. You can perform lookups from within
either the contacts or mail message areas. To do so, enter your search query and select Find
Online from the menu. Try to define your searches as narrowly as possible since the lookup will
return a maximum of 100 objects.
The query string entered on the device is used on the server to do a search on Ambiguous Name
Resolution (ANR)–indexable properties for all the mail-enabled objects on the Exchange server.
The response provides 10 non-customizable properties: first name, last name, display name,
office location, title, company, office telephone, mobile phone, alias, and email address. . . .
