--- Comment #5 from Heather Braum <hbraum at nekls.org> ---
This issue is definitely a bug, and a step backward in Koha's search. 

Our system has used Koha for 8 years. And the behavior through 3.18.12 (where
our system was before we moved to 3.22.3), was that searching for patrons by
both firstname and surname always worked in all the various patron search
boxes: holds searching, search patrons, guarantor search, checkout search, etc. 

When we moved to 3.22.3 on Sunday, I could no longer search for patrons using
first name and surname on request.pl (holds requests) and guarantor search (The
test patron I used was white sox, but we saw this with numerous other patrons).
Checkout search with these names worked, as did using search patrons through
the patrons page OR moremember.pl. Yesterday, two librarians reported that the
search patrons tab on the Koha home page also returned no results. 

Nick has temporarily patched these three instances for us so the system is back
to behaving the way it always has behaved. 

There needs to be a more permanent fix for this issue. We can't be the only
system where librarians click in these patron search boxes and type in first
name and last name.
