--- Comment #2 from Andrew Fuerste-Henry <[email protected]> ---
I've immediately flip-flopped on this. On the one hand, this issue is very
related to bug 36226 and only becomes noticeable when one has a lot of patrons.
But on the other hand the specific issue Kristi describes is also one of how
searches are parsed.

A search for "johnson, john" is treated just like a search for "johnson john."
In both cases, Koha will return every patron with "johnson" in either the
firstname the surname and "john" in either the firstname or the surname. The
way this search is performed, every name that contains "johnson" also contains
"john."

We could address this issue by allowing a search that somehow specifies which
terms and firstname and which terms are surname. That could be separate search
fields or a documented special search syntax -- like "johnson, john" could be
parsed as "surname: johnson, firstname: john"
