for patient name search-
our existing algorithm for search by name requires to search with 2 tokens. one token (meaning one part of patient name) will result with 0 results (one token is not a useful search). will that mean we'll not pass the inferno test for this query?

What do you mean by 'token' ?

I see. You are not really FHIR compliant if you do that, the definition of the name search parameter is ' that may match any of the string fields in the HumanName, including family, give, prefix, suffix, suffix, and/or text'
