There should be a flag in the "Sales & Receivables Setup" that overrules the field "Disable Search by Name" in the customer (to have a general setup to activate or deactivate the functionality).
If the flag is set, the field "Disable Search by Name" in the "Customer Card" should not be editable.

Same for purchase.
