Exclude prefix from search feature
When a profile has a prefix listed, the search field sorts the names alphabetically using the prefix as the deciding character.
For example I may search for Sydney Jones. Sydney could be male or female with the added corresponding prefix. For this example, Ms. Sydney Jones is how the profile information is entered. If one didn't know that Sydney Jones was a female then the results displayed could potentially have four areas the name could be.
Searching for Jones profiles yields: All Jones listed in alphabetical order. Sydney's profile could appear as: Jones, Sydney; Jones, Mr. Sydney; Jones, Mrs. Sydney; Jones, Ms. Sydney.
As other staff may be familiar or even the creator of the profile some of the others may not be as familiar the Sydney and know Sydney's gender, or martial status.
With over 11,000 active profiles, the Jones, Smith etc... sections of our database is very large. Thus, having to search for the name is various areas on the search results is very time consuming and aggravating.
By simply excluding this section in the search parameters would be very helpful.
