Search

Allows a step-by-step search for individual elements (e.g., name, street) with the ability to refine the search results incrementally. Unlike the Match function, a complete string is not required here.

Call Lookup

Identifies publicly available information (such as name, address, etc.) based on a phone number. This is especially useful for recognizing incoming calls in systems such as:

  • Telephony systems

  • CRMs

  • Helpdesk systems

Requirements for successful results

  • The provided phone number must be listed in public directories (local.ch or search.ch) and must be enabled for reverse lookup.
