            Bug ID: 40245
           Summary: Support option to display firstname in memberresultst

Circulation staff would find it very useful to see firstname in addition to
preferred_name in the patron search results table (memberresultst). Currently
at 24.11+, only the preferred name is displayed.

One way to handle this might be to add firstname as a line at between address
and email address. 

SMITH, KAT 
  123 MAIN ST.
  ANYTOWN, STATE/PROVINCE POSTCODE
Firstname: KATELYNN
Email: [email protected]

Or we might want to put the firstname in parenthesis.
SMITH, KAT (Firstname: KATELYNN)
  123 MAIN ST.
  ANYTOWN, STATE/PROVINCE POSTCODE
Email: [email protected]

Having the firstname appear somewhere would help disambiguate similar patron
names in the search results. Even better would be logic that only displayed the
Firstname when it differs from the Preferred_name.

This should be made optional. Some libraries might not want firstname to appear
here, to avoid accidentally deadnaming a patron.
