@cdrini actually, I think some of the recent ISBN processing standardisation may be catching the isbn query strings and sanitising them , as discussed in #609

I wasn't aware the passing isbn:978* to Solr was a feature, so it hasn't be catered for in the ISBN standardising.

With standardizing, what form is the ISBN being stored in? A string of 13 digits without hyphens?
