Thanks for the feedback !

I'm not sure if I get your question, but on this specific question, the
doctor had to enter "haemorrho" to get an specific list because there
are many other conditions that share the "haemo" prefix.

I am sorry for unclear words. Please find attached images 1,2 and 3.

First image "1. haemo" shows search result when user types 'heamo' in search box. The first result in search box is 'Neonatalepa ...' and the best matching result is at position 4.

Now look at second image "2. haemorr". The first result in search box is "Neonatal ..."  and the best matching result is at position 8.

Finally the third image "3. heamorrho". The first result is "Haemorrhoid". It is good! But still, "Haemorrhoid in pregnanacy" should have been at position 2 instead of 12.

If you want to skip the common prefix conditions, you can use the "%"
sign in front of your substring, and it would restrict the search.

For instance, in the haemorrhoid example, try : "%rrhoid" (without the
quotes. That would filter out all the other conditions.


PS: In the upcoming version we allow to search either by the
description or the condition code in the auto-complete field ( see
https://savannah.gnu.org/task/?14266).

So, for the patient condition, the doctor can either type "haemorrhoids"
or "K64.9" as its ICD10 code in the auto-complete field.
