Because of the way the search feature works, titles that are added to the first name field (such as Reverend, Dr., and the Lieutenant, etc) cause the search to start looking for the last name immediately after the first space is typed.  So if you wanted to find Dr. Joyce Brothers, for example, as soon as you typed "Dr. Jo" no items would be returned (unless maybe you had a Dr. Silas Jones in your DB).

Can we please get a title field added to address the search issue (that, and Father is rarely someone's first name!

I'd much rather have a smarter search function that finds both Dr. Joyce Brother and Dr. Silas Jones when you type "Dr. Jo". It doesn't take an extra field to accomplish.

But why would a person's title or rank belong in a first name field?

Because more fields create more confusion...
