Person and Participant Search

[flwyd]

Users should be able to search for people by callsign, elements of their name, and email address segments. This task could easily mushroom, so let's take a phased approach.

• Phase 1: Person search field.
  • A non-ajax search box that matches substrings and returns a search results page
• Phase 2: Participant search field.
  • Search for names of participants in the current event. Fall back to people matching that name so they can be added to the event.
• Phase 3: Search as you type
  • Person/participant search box that shows potential matches as you type and lets the user pick one to open the record.
• Phase 4: Search widget
  • Be able to embed the search-as-you-type in places where you need to pick a person like signing into a shift or matching a mentor with an alpha.
