1. 1. Must Match: Here you can search for an extension based on its name. While not case sensitive, it is space sensitive. If you only search for part of the description, you must include wildcards. For example, an extension name that reads: Receptionist Extension. If you searched Receptionist, you wouldn't get any results. But if you search %receptionist% or %RECEPTIONIST% etc. you would get results.
   2. Must NOT Match: Same rules as Must Match, but here you can exclude certain terms. Say you were searching for %Oregon% extensions, but you didn't want anything from Portland, you would check the checkbox next to Must NOT Match and put in %portland% (again not case sensitive).
