Reference numbers

Expectations:

Users expect search to be able to locate works by their local and external identifiers eg Catalogue API IDs, Sierra IDs etc and for these to appear first in results
Works that mention the reference number in other fields should come after the exact match
Searches should be case-insensitive
Users searching for an identifier and other input, should find works matching the identifier and input at the top of the results
Note: We have instances where a user may have one alternative version of a reference number that has been referred to as something else, e.g. WMS 682 / MS 682 / MS.682. They are the same item.
