[Gnumed-devel] Unintended GNUmed patient search result

[Busser, Jim]

I was searching for a patient

        last name = Kan
        first names = D

so I searched

        Kan D

which did not find the above patient, which is ok, because it turns out I had 
not yet created that patient.

However, GNUmed did "find" (and auto-activated) a patient with

        last name = Andersson
        first names = Steve K

see log output below. I gather the above patient was found because of a match 
of the search string with spaces removed

        kand

inside the concatenated name parts

        stevekanderson

which is not a request to change it. Mainly it is an observation that praxis 
recption and doctors may end up innocently activating patients who were the 
unintended result of a search. I suppose the only way to change this would be 
to present a dialog even for single matches, which some people may not desire.
