Large library systems or consortium are seeing issues with patron name
searches. For example, if staff look for a patron with the name of "John Smith"
the autocomplete feature will show the first 10 results of patrons with the
name "John Smith" or similar names like "Johnny Smith". However, if they search
for a name such as "Mary Maryilyn" the search will not pull up the correct
patron. The autocomplete will pull up names with "Mary" or "Maryilyn" but not
the name itself. A regular patron search will also result in several pages of
results instead of the one unique name.
