            Bug ID: 32985
           Summary: DefaultPatronSearchFields not affecting all searches
 Change sponsored?: ---
           Product: Koha
           Version: master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5 - low

So, we've had no problem searching for patrons in Koha via cardnumber in
general, even though we didn't list cardnumber in DefaultPatronSearchFields. 
This may be because we also use the cardnumber as the username.  BUT, we don't
define the username as one of the searchable fields in
DefaultPatronSearchFields.  So, Koha is finding either the cardnumber or the
username without it being in this preference.

We figured this out because we could not search for guarantors by cardnumber
until we put this field in DefaultPatronSearchFields.  Now it works.  So,
guarantor search is adhering to this setting, but the rest of Koha is not.
