This article describes one method the extend the [[Search#Automatic_search|automatic search]] range.

In the example below the doors (UDP group 1) are all ringing to station 101, which unanswered will transfer to 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106 in a sequence.

'''''Step 1'''''

Create two [[Event_Trigger_(Event_Type)|event trigger]] numbers in [[Directory_%26_Features_(AlphaPro)|Directory&Features]]:

[[File:AutoSearch app1.PNG|thumb|500px|left]]
<br style="clear:both;" />

[[File:AutoSearch app2.PNG|thumb|500px|left]]
<br style="clear:both;" />

'''''Step 2'''''

Set up Automatic Search for 101 - Front Desk:

[[File:AutoSearch app3.PNG|thumb|500px|left]]
<br style="clear:both;" />

The [[Users_%26_Stations_(AlphaPro)#DAK|Automatic Search]] will transfer the call to 102, then 103 and finally it will force the door station to dial an event trigger:

<br style="clear:both;" />

'''''Step 3'''''

Create the [[Event_Handler|Event]]:

[[File:AutoSearch_app10.PNG|thumb|500px|left]]
<br style="clear:both;" />

{{Code2|
 Pause
 Pause
 $C L%1.dir
 Pause
 Pause
 $CALL L%1.dir L104
}}

Now the door is actually calling 104, which has its own search list:

<br style="clear:both;" />

[[File:AutoSearch app7.PNG|thumb|500px|left]]
<br style="clear:both;" />

The second search set will transfer the call to 105, then 106 and finally it will force the door station to call yet another event trigger. This time it is possible to choose to either end the call, or make a loop back to the first station:

'''''Step 4a'''''

Ending the call:

<br style="clear:both;" />

{{Code2|
 $C L%1.dir
}}

'''''Step 4b'''''

Making a loop:

[[File:AutoSearch_app11.PNG|thumb|500px|left]]
<br style="clear:both;" />

{{Code2|
 Pause
 Pause
 $C L%1.dir
 Pause
 Pause
 $CALL L%1.dir L101
}}

'''''Step 5'''''

The above described solution will require that all receiving stations are set to [[Open_/_Private_selection_feature|private]]. The private ring time can be changed in the global settings under [[Exchange_%26_System_(AlphaPro)#Timers|Exchange&System->System->Timers]]. Default is 11 seconds:
