Description Christopher Brannon 2020-11-03 22:58:49 UTC
When searching for a partial name, you get a list of results.  Depending on whether you start your search in check out or patron search, the results differ.  The records are the same, but the layout and information shown is different.  This is confusing to staff, as they don't remember which place to search for the information they want to search through.

I would suggest that we standardize the results so they are consistent.  On top of that, I would like to see the ability to pick what information is included the table of results.  There are fields we don't need to see, and there are fields we would like to see, in order to determine which patron is the right one.

This behaviour has now changed as now we always use the patron module search results.
