The patron search type is hard coded to 'contain' in circ/circulation.pl.

This causes problems because a mis-scanned cardnumber can bring up the wrong
patron.

The example that our partner gave us involved scanning '1733', which doesn't
match any borrowers when we do a 'start_with' search, but matches the
cardnumber 'p291733'.

If we follow the usage in members/member.pl, we can set searchtype in HTTP
params, which is amenable to fixes in intranetuserjs
