#8 Ability to search by more then the patient's last name.

[Dr. Matthew Roller]

Searching for a patient only by their last name is very
limited.

It would be nice to add the ability to search by any
patient demographic, somewhat like FreeMED has.

First name, DOB, address, city, state, zip....ect...

I agree. Sometimes I will want to follow up with a patient,
and can only remember a first name, or the person or group
that referred them. Sometimes I know where they live, their
street number. Taken further, if all i have is their
telephone number, or if my Caller ID picks up a number I
don't recognize, openemr should allow a search on any of
these, and other data. How about for primary diagnosis or
any diagnosis, and be presented with a list of patients with
condition x, y or z.

Taken a bit further, I think ever data field should be
searchable. I am used to entering patient notes in a large
contiguous file on each patient, and would like to search
through all patient notes fields for the word "headache" for
example.

By the way you can now search by "lastname, firstname". So
at least if you're looking for someone named Smith you
don't have to scroll through an insanely long list.
