When searching a patron, search type can be 'start with' and 'contain'.
If the search text contains a space (or a coma), this text is splitted into
several terms.

Actually, the search on 'start with' with several terms never returns a result.

It is because the search composes an "AND" SQL query on terms.
For example (I display only the surname part) :
search type = contain :
  'jean paul' => surname like '%jean% AND %paul%'
search type = start with :
  'jean paul' => surname like 'jean% AND paul%'
The query for 'start with' is impossible.

I propose, for search with start with, to not split terms : 
  jean paul => surname like 'jean paul%'

One can always use '*' to add more truncation :
  jea* pau* => surname like 'jea% pau%'

This bug affects a lot surnames with several terms like 'LE GUELEC' or 'MAC
BETH'.
