Search does not search the term identifier #103

When searching via a search string in an ontology also the id should be searched. For instance if I search for "20" in SBO

http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols/search?q=20&groupField=iri&start=0&ontology=sbo

I do not get the SBO:0000020 as a result.

I hadn't actually thought about people wanting to search for ids like that. I can see how it could be convenient, but we probably wouldn't want to do this kind of suffix searching on all fields. We do tokenise queries on the : so if you search for 0000020 you will get 'inhibitor' as a top hit.

When we build the index we can index the id with and without the leading zeros which should resolve this.

Yes the indexing with and without leading zeros would be perfect.
