Description Isabel Pineda 2023-03-02 17:18:36 UTC
We are running Koha 22.11.03 in Spanish, and today I have found a problem if I search for a patron in the staff interface with the “checkout” search (“préstamo”). 

In Spanish speaking countries, people usually have 2 surnames. When I create a new user, I write both surnames in the “surname” field and both given names in the “First name” field.

If I enter the name or parts of it in the “checkout” search, without hitting Enter, I get a list of results where I can choose from. It used to be possible in previous versions to search for patrons using the first name and the second surname. Today I found that this is not possible anymore. For example, if there is a patron with the name “Carla María Ramírez Hernández”, I find her if I search with “Carla Ramírez”, but not if I search with “Carla Hernández”. It doesn´t work either if I search with the second given name and first surname (“María Ramírez”).
Comment 1 Jonathan Druart 2023-03-07 09:50:04 UTC
Regression caused by bug 32772.
Comment 2 Nick Clemens 2023-03-07 12:09:23 UTC
(In reply to Jonathan Druart from comment #1)
> Regression caused by bug 32772.

The previous behvaiour is still possible, it now requires entering a wildcard before your term, e.g.:
%María %Ramírez

It's a trade off, some libraries were getting too many results, now some are getting too few. We went towards a default of 'starts with' because it allowed wildcard use to replicate previous behvaiour

I would support a switch (syspref) to allow choosing 'starts with' or 'contains' as the default for patron searching.
Comment 3 Isabel Pineda 2023-03-07 13:00:29 UTC
> I would support a switch (syspref) to allow choosing 'starts with' or 'contains' as the default for patron searching.


I would like to support this too. In our library we are dealing very often with little children who don't know all of their first and last names, which makes the search very slow when the autocomplete doesn't work the way it used to.

Thank you.

Bug 33117: Added new syspref Patronautocompletesesarchmethod

Added 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.

Test Plan:
1. Create a patron that has a first name, middle name and two surnames. (i.e. Adela Maria, Hernandez Acosta).
2. Search for the patron using their first name and first surname. Confirm that a record is found.
3. Search for the patron using their first name and second surname. Confirm that no record is found.
4. Search for the patron using their middle name and first surname. Confirm that a record is found.
5. Search for the patron using their middle name and second surname. Confirm that no record is found.
6. Apply the patch.
7. Under Administration > Global System Preferences > search for “PatronAutocompleteSearchMethod”
8. Choose “Contains” instead of “Starts with” for the system preference.
9. Repeat steps 2-4. The patron record should appear for all search methods.

I also confirmed that the searches in steps 5 and 6 both work with PatronAutocompleteSearchMethod set to Contains and then leaving PatronAutocompleteSearchMethod set to Starts With maintains all of the pre-patch behavior.
Comment 24 Jonathan Druart 2023-03-22 13:14:32 UTC
Why are you passing the syspref value to the patron_autocomplete JS function, instead of retrieving the value from there?

I think you should create a global JS variable (in doc-head-close.inc for instance), then use it when you need it in patron_autocomplete.

Also you are using TT syntax in 2 js files (tags-review.js and viewlog.js), it won't work.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into how to adjust this.

I would suggest to use strings as codes for the syspref, 'start_with' and 'contains', instead of a boolean value.

Comment 44 Barbara Johnson 2023-06-02 19:16:39 UTC
This is mostly working.  Here is what I found in my testing:

When searching via 'Check out' from the searchbar all combinations of names displayed in the autocomplete results.  After typing in a name and hitting 'enter' all four combinations opened up the patron record.

When searching via 'Patrons' from the searchbar all combinations of names displayed in the autocomplete results.  However, only the search containing the combination of the first name and first surname brought up the patron.  The other three combinations did not find the patron record.

When searching for patrons via the patron form on the left side on members-home.pl all four combinations brought up the patron record.

So something is still preventing actually bringing up the patron record for the following combinations when using the 'Search patrons' option from the searchbar:
  --first name, second surname
  --middle name, first surname
  --middle name, second surname
Comment 45 George Williams (NEKLS) 2023-06-15 18:59:03 UTC
Because of the work done on bug 33117, we currently have a situation where the default search in the header search bar is "Starts with" but the default search in the search box on the left hand side of the page on members-home.pl is "Contains."

This is very confusing for library staff.

Whatever happens next with this patch, this new system preference should make the default search type match in the header search bar and on members-home.pl
Comment 46 George Williams (NEKLS) 2023-06-15 19:04:04 UTC
Excuse me, I meant to say because of the work done on bug 32772.  That's the bug that's caused the search type to be different in its two different appearances.

Comment 49 Martin Renvoize 2023-06-22 11:29:41 UTC
I fixed the authorship, tidied the DB update and then tested.

For me, the test plan is all passing and I couldn't replicate the issues raised by Barbara.

I think we should come back to the consistency between interfaces in another bug.. mostly because I think this is an important fix and when I tried to follow-up to make the various interfaces consistent I found there was more than I expected.. (hint, just passing searchtype from the various controllers isn't enough.. the forms don't respect the param for some reason)

So.. with that in mind, I'm happy to PQA this patch and open a new bug to work on the consistency work.
Comment 50 Martin Renvoize 2023-06-22 11:33:13 UTC
My only caveat here is the preference name.. I'd be tempted to drop the 'AutoComplete' part and have it as just `DefaultPatronSearchMethod` and sit it next to `DefaultPatronSearchFields`

I'll do a follow-up for that now.

Bug 33117: (follow-up) Rename preference

As it's been requested that we keep the search defaults consistent, I
think this preference is better names DefaultPatronSearchMethod and
appear next to DefaultPatronSearchFields. This patch makes that change,
though actually applying it to the other search area's (outside of
autocomplete) has been left for another bug.

Comment 71 Caroline Cyr La Rose 2024-01-12 16:21:04 UTC
Just a note that for people updating from before 22.11 (we updated from 22.05 to 23.05), the new syspref default (starts with) changes the historic behaviour (contains).

The default keeps the "new" behaviour introduced by the regression.

Something to keep in mind when updating. We had to change the syspref in all our client installations after several clients reported having problems with the search.
