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.

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.
 
Let me know if this helps.
