Finding Patients - 1 #6

The “Patient Find” feature ( https://data.developer.nhs.uk/document-viewer/edms/patient ) appears to work in an odd way, and it can potentially mislead, for example:

If you search on “Manley” instead of finding “Max Manley”, a list is displayed of “Eve Everywoman1”, i.e. “Manley” is not found.

When clicking in “Patient Find” area of the screen, the drop down that appears in Edge shows text and characters (e.g. date values) that are not relevant as identifiers for patients. The intention appears to be to show previous search criteria so that if I did a search on “Smith” – next time dropdown appears then “Smith” appears in drop down. This partially works but is confusing with non-patient identifiers in drop down. Ideally some filtering is needed, and only patient surnames / NHS Numbers should appear in drop down.
