https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=32772 Bug ID: 32772 Summary: Patron autocomplete should not use contains on all fields Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: Staff interface Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: nick@bywatersolutions.com QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: gmcharlt@gmail.com 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 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. You are the assignee for the bug.
