[Koha] Searching biblionumber in catalogue using staff client

[Iming Chan]

Dear all,

Due to our workflow from Acquisitions to Cataloguing, we regularly search
Biblionumber (Marc 999$c) in the catalogue when adding new item(s).  It will
be nice that we could shorten the search syntex of "Biblionumber:" to
something like "BN:" or similar.  Having to repeatly keyin "Biblionumber:"
(followed by relevant number) is quite inefficient.

Just in case anyone is interested: 

For every new item that we received in Acquisitions, we write the
corresponding Biblionumber on the title page verso where a book label will
be placed later.  When time to add the item, we simply search by the
Biblionumber noted on the title page verso and it takes us straight to the
matching catalogue record.  Once we have printed spine and book label sets
(they are arranged by Biblionumber) in a batch, we use the Biblionumber to
find the matching labels.  We then place the book label over the handwritten
Biblionumber.
