Show patient's age in searches (instead of birth

Show patient's age in searches (instead of birth date).

It would be wonderful to have the patient's age as a searchable field for doing queries. At our clinic we do a lot of searches where we want to have the patient's age show up in the results. Right now it's not a searchable field so all that shows up is the birth date. We end up doing multiple searches which takes more time than necessary. It doesn't work to export the search into Excel and change the birth date into an age as Excel reads the birth date opposite of what Accuro outputs it (month as the day).

I'm sure you realise that the query results would go out of date immediately, so the convenience would last for 1 day only.

You can get "Age" using a spreadsheet in a few steps. Firstly when opening the CSV results don't just click on the file, but open a blank file and go Data->Import from text. Then delimited and select comma as a separator and for the birthdate select "MDY" as the date format. Otherwise Excel can read the dates incorrectly.

Then to calculate a Age from a birth date in the D2 cell, use a formula:
```
 (now()-D2)/365.25
```
Just an idea.
