           Summary: Allow ExtendedPatronAttributes to *not* be searched
                    when enabled.
          Severity: enhancement
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: kyle.m.hall at gmail.com
          Hardware: All
            Status: NEW
           Version: master
         Component: Patrons
           Product: Koha

Right now, if extended patron attributes are enabled, all those fields are
searched on when searching for patrons. A library using Koha should be able to
use extended attributes without necessarily being able to search on them. 

Case in point, a library has created an extended attribute to store the
cardnumbers of lost library cards. In the current system, anyone could walk in
with a lost library card they found, and when the librarian scans it, that
patron will pop up. Unless the librarian notices the number on the physical
card is different than the one displayed on the screen, the unscrupulous person
will be able to check out items on this lost card!
