Run any page that contains the "Search patrons" search bar through an HTML
validator and you will see a lot of:

Stray start tag span.
Stray end tag span.

This is because <option> tags contain spans. <span> is not a valid child
element of <option>

The HTML5 spec:

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-elements.html#the-option-element


There are essentially two options for what can be put inside an <option>
element:

1. Test
2. Nothing

These spans are added via the patronfields.inc
