All, What we can do in our current system and would like be able to do is to get a single result - so that if I search for cardnumber "6532" I get just that one and not "*6532*" - every number that contains that string. I had tried enclosing it with single quotes and double quotes, and neither worked. We have 17000+ patrons, and the going through them can be really time consuming.

We just scan the barcode. The other easiest way to do it is enter last name, first name (you can just put the first initial if you want, it will display a list of patrons that closely match your search.
Hope that helps,

Everyone, Another newbie question: Is there a way in the staff client to search by the exact card number? It seems to be using wild cards before and after. For example, a search for "643" pulls up 1643", "36431" and everything else that contains "643" with 643 in the list. We want it to pull up only the one 643. I'm assuming it isn't acceptable to change member.pl?
Thanks in advance.
