How to search (web API) for a Calls record by phone number?

How to search (web API) for a Calls record by phone number?

Using v8 /Calls/search web api I'm unable to to complete a search request no matter how I use the api:

When I try using "criteria=" I get:
  2. response: <Response [400]>
  3. response_json: {
  4.   "code": "INVALID_QUERY",
  5.   "details": {
  6.     "reason": "the field is not available for search",
  7.     "api_name": "To_Number__s"
  8.   },
  9.   "message": "Invalid query formed",
  10.   "status": "error"
  11. }


When I try using "phone=" I get:
  1. response: {
  2.   "code": "FIELD_TYPE_UNAVAILABLE",
  3.   "details": {},
  4.   "message": "this data type is not found in this module",
  5.   "status": "error"
  6. }

So, given a phone number, what web api will let me find Calls records related to that phone number?  (I don't have any associated Contact.  I have just the phone number)

Thanks
Clark

After scrolling through the CSS and HTML files I cannot find the setting for the link color. Changing the link color word by word seems inefficient and must be a setting somewhere?

It would be really great to have a system field "Audit trail" that we can add to the detailed view of a record. This would allow supervisors, directors and etc. to quickly track what changes have been done by whom for each record. It is a current feature from a client of mine and while it's probably possible to hard code it, since this data is already available in Zoho, I would be surprised to hear how hard it would

The field does not show up in the screen, nor can I make it show up as the systems does not give me that option. I cannot "mass update" it either. I tried it, but Zoho refuses to change the name of the owner. Please help out: how do I change the owner of a call.

The "Unread" tab is really worthless because it shows all files from every directory on the system. I just need an email (or bell at worst) that says "someone has uploaded into <foldername>".
