Bug 33117: Adding new PatronAutoCompleteSearchMethod system preference
This patch adds a new system preference called "PatronAutoCompleteSearchMethod"
which allows staff to choose between "Starts with" or "Contains" when
searching for patrons.
The "Contains" option should be useful when searching for patrons that have
multiple surnames or when searching using a patron's middle name.
New Test Plan:
0. Ensure system preference PatronAutoComplete is set to Try
1. Create a patron that has a first name, middle name and two surnames.
(i.e. Adela Maria, Hernandez Acosta).
2. In patron or checkout search, enter their first name and first
surname without submitting.
3. Confirm that a record is found in the autocomplete results
4. In patron or checkout search, enter their first name and second
surname without submitting.
5. Confirm that no record is found.
6. Enter their middle name and first surname. Confirm that no record is
found.
7. Enter their middle name and second surname. Confirm that no record
is found.
8. Apply the patch, update database
9. Under Administration > Global System Preferences > search for
"PatronAutocompleteSearchMethod"
10. Choose "Contains" instead of "Starts with" for the system
preference, reload your search page
11. Repeat steps 2-4. The patron record should appear for all search
methods.
