Furthermore... it doesn't look like I am able to search against the

text

field in a practitioner's

HumanName

either 🤔 when I try, the results come up empty. I am also using the name in a POST

ifNotExist

bundle (with

name=Dr. Doctor Person

as the search string), so the batch ends up creating duplicates.

It's neither working when doing an exact search, nor when doing a partial match

Also confirmed that

text

is not included in

Patient?name=

search. Filed here: https://github.com/medplum/medplum/issues/2988

@yaaaaale - We will update the Medplum components and search behavior, because this does sound like a very confusing situation, especially if you're receiving FHIR data from disparate sources. If you are authoring this FHIR data yourself, beware that the spec says that

text

should only include data that is present in the other fields: https://hl7.org/fhir/R4/datatypes.html#HumanName > The text element specifies the entire name as it should be displayed e.g. in an application UI. This may be provided instead of or as well as the specific parts. Applications updating a name SHALL ensure that when both text and parts are present, no content is included in the text that isn't found in a part.
