Bug description:
There are several problems:
Search currently requires the user to enter a "space" or "-" character
to find matching numbers the the contacts and messaging apps.
Also depending on how the number is entered the formatting is different for
example:
19995551212 is stored and displayed as "1 999-555-1212"
whereas
9995551212 is displayed as "(999) 555-1212"
There is no way for me to specify a formatted number when creating a contact
so there is no real reason to store it formatted in a way we choose.
When editing a number I am presented with it formatted which is somewhat
confusing, there is no "-" character available to me.
I suggest we store the raw number only and always normalize search
strings to digits and special characters (like *#) only. The
presentation should be considered separate from the data
