All searching throughout the system should be the same. In some contexts, I can enter "smith j" and get all last names "smith" with a first name starting with j. In other contexts, it'd return no results. [cuz it must be looking for last name and there's noone with a last name starting with 'smith j".
Also, We need to be able to choose > 1 field to search on.
e.g. I should be able, *in one action*, to look for a "smith" with a first name beginning with "j" .
Right now, [in most contexts], I need to enter "smith", then scroll through [sometimes PAGES of] data to find the one I want.
Very annoying and time consuming.
