--- Comment #6 from Christopher Brannon <[email protected]> --- Sally, thanks for the input. This helps. I've played around with othername and initials, and neither appear in search results or suggestions, although you can include them for searching. This makes distinguishing one patron from the other difficult when this information doesn't show. And Sally is right...the brackets around the othername doesn't make sense if it is a middle name. Middle names are used in the US for more formal identification (and some people have multiple middle names), but not commonly used in greetings or business letters. So, to have a middle name field that is searchable, and shows in searches, and properly laid out, but something that can be excluded in communications and notices, and on screen greetings would be preferred. Currently we are using othernames for nicknames, like if Mary Jo prefers to be called MJ. So, we can't really use that. And initials are not as visible as othernames. We can always adjust things like that, but as stated above, they are not visible in searches. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
