NCEI Accession numbers are not searchable in keywords #9

Describe the bug

NCEI Accession numbers assigned from the Archive Management System are not searchable when they exist as keywords in the collection metadata record.

This is an issue as data submitters have been told that the seven digit number is the key identifier for locating their package in the NCEI archive holdings yet the number produces no search results when the package is part of a larger NCEI data collection.

To Reproduce Searching for 0162468 should produce this result and instead the user gets No results message https://data.noaa.gov/onestop/collections/details/AWb3g-cWmm6hJphmMEvE

If I understand the information provided as to how OneStop works the NCEI accession number is being indexed based on the term accessionValues in this list https://github.com/cedardevs/onestop/blob/master/docs/design/iso-indexing-mapping.md

But the accessionValues term may not be exposed to users as a searchable term based on this list: https://github.com/cedardevs/onestop/blob/master/docs/usage/search-api-responses.md
