Feature or enhancement

The auto-complete search feature in the ORGANIZATIONS module is different from that in other searches, for example, SERIAL (in SOURCES). It should be able to pick an existing register by any string, not only the starting.
We are now entering images in the Opiliones project, and several of them should be referred to organizations.

For example Sociedad de Ciencias Naturales La Salle is the same as Fundación La Salle de Ciencias Naturales.

If I enter FUN, it works fine, but not if I enter SOC or SALL.
It should be able to retrieve this organization by using strings in the middle and the alternative names, otherwise it will lead to the proliferation of duplicate organizations.
We should tackle this while we have only a few. In the future, with 1 million organizations, 50% of which are duplicates, chaos will ensue.
