[Koha] ISBN display

[Ma. Victoria H. Silva-Manuel]

We do not have RDA toolkit, but according to OCLC
<https://www.oclc.org/bibformats/en/0xx/020.html>, hyphens are disregarded.
Personally, I prefer not to include hyphens. Based on experience, patrons
who searches for ISBN do not use hyphens.
Is it searchable if the patron search without hyphens and the ISBNs encoded
have hyphens?
