search by barcode

we could borrow this nice UI idea from bookwyrm

tldr: having several action buttons to distinguish "search for a book" and "import books to my inventory"

Makes sense since the ISBN search is, imo, missing some incentive in the global search bar.

I see 2 possible implementations

• click on next, go to the current scan/importer process to scan multiple books. But i think the importer interface is a big cognitive thing to deal with, while you might just want to look for this one book. (could be v1).
• having 2 action buttons: "search for this one book" and "import books to your inventory", the first path could be as follow: stay in this view, open a modal, scan bar code, close the modal when scanner has found one ISBN, display edition in the search result list.
