But if I put in the ""Geographic Number (Optional)" field the number of a friend, 6173889xxxx, it returns the same number. It should return 0733840033 for the Strathpine store.
When I do the same test in the e164.org "Non-Geographical Search", my number returns three results: +61738510433, +61733840033 and +61294507666. Using my friend's number, the same three numbers are returned.
So, is it simply a limitation of the non-Geo process? Should e164 return more than one number? Does VoXaLot use the same process? If so, how does it pick from the three? Does it pick just the first? Or is there some problem somewhere, or something I've overlooked?
Thanks.

It does not pick the first number. It actually analyses the digits right <-- left comparing them against the optional geo number digits. When the remaining digits all match the number is "found".
Not an exact science but the closest thing we have got.
