Hi,

I have done some testing on an older (20.11.x) version:

Cardnumbers for testing:
A
A1
A2

1) Patron search: A
A opens directly

2) Acq > User to notify on receive
A shows only one result

Tried something else:
AA
AA2
AA3

AA = 1 result
A = 3 results
So it seems to limit when exact match. But then you need to click the single
result.

3) Place hold
Searching for AA selects the user directly.

So it seems the behavior was a little different between searches before, but it
should certainly be fixed for place hold.


Note: it only seems to work for cardnumber, not for userid. But I think this is
ok, you are more likely to scan the card and expect a direct link than when
searching for userid. Also userid might be more likely to be more uniqe. While
sequential cardnumbers generated with autoMemberNum could lead to a long list
of possible candidates quicky (especially if you started with 1).
