Details:

When a party is searched, it looks for matches in fields like name, last name,
PUID, etc. However, if it finds a matching party using one of those fields,
the search stops automaticly. That would lead to not finding a matching
result.

For instance, if we are looking for a party whose last name is "Luis", and
there is another party whose name is also "Luis"; the search will find a match
using the field name, and then it will stop; causing the party not being
found.

The simplest solution I can think of, is to replace the method
"search_rec_name" (class PartyPatient, health.py) with the following code:
________________________________________
result = ['OR']
for field in ('name', 'lastname', 'ref', 'alternative_ids.code'):
    result.append([(field,) + tuple(clause[1:])])
return result
________________________________________

That will return a clause containing a logic OR operator, that will take into
account all possible matching fields.

Also, if that is not possible, I think it would be convenient to at least
prioritize the field PUID, i.e. locate it at the beginning of the tuple.
