Bug 31782 added all default patron search fields to the autocomplete, and made
them all use 'contains'

This makes searching in large systems difficult

Previous behaviour:
Every library has a unique starting cardnumber sequence, but it can repeat in
later numbers
Library A types "3A" to find their patrons only, but autocomplete now returns
all of library B patrons with cards ending in 3A


Other issue:
Library has a large number of patrons with surnames 'Williams' and
'Fitzwilliams'
Type 'Williams' into the search, only see Fitzwilliams

I think we should default to 'Starts with' which allows the use of '%' at the
start to make it a contains, rather than force contains which we don't have a
way to limit.

Otherwise, we need to support '^' for starts with
