Following up on our IRC discussion:

The request came because the sponsoring site had stored patron name data in
surname, firstname, initials field.  However, the initials field was not
visible in either patron or checkout search results, so there was no way of
distinguishing Smith, John A. from Smith, John B. in the results list, without
going into the individual patron records.

The initials field seems to be intented for patron middle initials/names; it's
grouped with the patron name fields.  Therefore, if sites use it for middle
initial/name data, that data should display in search results.

The feature is controlled by a syspref, so the display is optional if sites do
not use that field, or use it for something else.
