[Koha] Searching by the exact barcode in cataloguing

[Kari Blomster]

#2 and the system way to overcome barcode ambiguity would be to IN VERSION
UPDATE take up the notion that in some environments barcodes are not
machine-read barcodes but rather typed-in numeric information. For these
Manual Barcode users a new variable ManualBarcodeLength and small codebit to
add the "front-zeroes" could be useful, wouldn't it? 

Something like ... 
-- System barcode length
BCCharlength = 5

BCInput
BCInput.charcount

The adding (BCCharlength - BCInput.charcount) long string of "front-zeroes"
to the input before it is fed to the database. In this way the input feed
"1" would be processed as "00001".

But I do not actually know how wide is the habit of typing the barcodes! Do
you use machine-reading to feed the item barcodes, Sunil my friend?
