Query a zone for two or more transformed aliases
Zones are queried in order of priority of the search rules configured against them.
It is possible to configure multiple search rules for the same zone each with, for example, the same Priority
and an identical Pattern string to be matched, but with different replacement patterns. In this situation, the
Expressway queries that zone for each of the new aliases simultaneously. (Any duplicate aliases produced
by the transforms are removed prior to the search requests being sent out.) If any of the new aliases are
found by that zone, the call is forwarded to the zone. It is then up to the controlling system to determine the
alias to which the call will be forwarded.

For example, you may want to configure your dial plan so that when a user dials an alias in the format
name@example.com
name@example.com
. the Expressway queries the zone simultaneously for both name@example.co.uk
and name@example.net.
To achieve this, from the
Create search rule
page (
Configuration > Dial plan > Search rules > New
) set
up two search rules as follows:
