Hello all, In bug 15252 a change was introduced to fix the problem of too many / irrelevant results when searching for patrons with multi-part names e.g. 'jean paul' 'mac beth' 'le guelec' This change now defaults many searches to 'start_with' and does not split terms for a 'start_with' search. This does not affect members-home.pl, but many other patrons searches request.pl, common/patron_search.tt ... A side effect of this change is that searching for a patrons full name i.e. 'Henry Acevedo' or 'Edna Acosta' returns no results as it is searching for [firstname like 'edna acosta%'] it also prevents searches like 'Ed aco' from finding results. The searches above returned results through 3.18, but 15252 is in 3.20.8 and 3.22.2 and master As we are seeing libraries upgrade to the newer versions we are hearing complaints as this is a big behaviour change from their viewpoint. Jonathan and I have been discussing on Bug 15930 and the options we have so far are: 1/ add a special case to search on firstname and surname (if start_with) 2/ add a pref to default on contains or start_with 3/ let the libraries who want a different behavior modify the default with some JS code 4/ add phrase searching with quotes and split terms otherwise Ideally we want to allow for ease in finding multi part names, but not introduce a change for single part names Thoughts?
