The problem here is that the first name and last name fields are different. So when searching for a person by name we must search the first name and last name fields.
So I have changed the person name search so that including quotes around a name will change the nature of searching from a full text match to a first name last name comparison.
Examples:
"charlotte smith" will find the one Charlotte Smith in the database.
charlotte smith will find all the charlottes and all the smiths
"rachel biggs" will not find Rachel Charlotte Biggs because the search term must include Charlotte.
"rachel%biggs" will find Rachel Charlotte Biggs. % is a wildcard character for this one specific case.
