Agreed. This is on the todo list.

That's not what I had in mind. If a provider puts in 88745, that means 
that they have a route to that area code, and that area code only. If a 
visitor then searches for termination to the entire 88 country, they 
don't want to see 88745, as it's only part of what they want.

I'm willing to rethink this if people what some other behaviour. I'm 
also willing to make it selectable at search time.

Agreed.

I hadn't planned for it, but it's a good idea.

Yes, will be in 0.2.

On the todo list; may or may not be before 1.0.

Isn't that what asterisk-biz is for?!
