But apart from that, I am mostly worried about how this will impact the performance of the patron search - will it make things slower?

I wouldn't think so, the search itself is unaffected, there is a check on each search term to see if it is a date time, I don't think you would notice any drain unless you had MANY MANY search terms

1) if you do a search from the check out tab, you end up with a results table that doesn't show the date of birth - I think if it's searchable, it should also show.

Will provde on a followup shortly

2) Patron search page: a combined search for birthdate and part of the name doesn't always seem to work? (comment#14)

Jonathan's followup removed the variable termsearchfieldtype - this was being used to force a search by DOB if the term was a date and use whatever was passed in otherwise. Another option would be to just concat DOB to the fields being searched - do you have a preference Jonathan? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
