Bug 15252 - Patron search on start with does not work with several terms
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'.
Note that the patch moves :
$searchmember =~ s/,/ /g;
It removes the test "if $searchmember" because $searchmember is tested and set to empty string previously :
unless ( $searchmember ) {
$searchmember = $dt_params->{sSearch} // '';
}
Test plan :
==========
- Create two patrons with firstname "Jean Paul"
- Go to Patrons module
- Choose "Starts with" in "Search type" filter
- Perform a search on "Jean Paul"
=> without patch : you get no result
=> with this patch : you get the two results
- Check you get the two results for search on "Jean Pau"
- Check you get the two results for search on "Jea* Pau*"
- Check you do not get results for search on "Jea Paul"
- Choose "Contains" in "Search type" filter
- Check you get the two results for search on "Jean Paul"
- Check you get the two results for search on "Jean Pau"
- Check you get the two results for search on "Jea* Pau*"
- Check you get the two results for search on "Jea Paul"
- Check you get the two results for search on "Paul Jean"

'start_with' is the default value of $searchtype, it can be explicit.
