[Koha] Patron search not working after upgrade to version 22

Hi Katrin,

I have still been unable to solve the error. When I run the developer tools
in my browser and try a search, I do receive an error message,
"Uncaught TypeError:
categories_map[data] is undefined" when I search for a particular name. If
I use the link for a letter next to Browse by Last Name, I end up getting
an "Internal Server Error" and a warning "DataTables warning: table
id=memberresultst - Ajax error." I saw these on the Console tab of Firefox.
Let me know if I should be looking somewhere else as this is the first time
I've used Developer Tools to try to solve a Koha problem.

Thank you,

Kyle Noakes
