When searching 'All' using four digits i.e 1234 Sequencescape returns an exception

An ActionView::Template::Error occurred in searches#index:

Fix confirmed working in Training. This can be progressed to UAT and Production when it won't interfere with testing underway for other stories. @andrewsparkes can mix this in with those changes as they progress.
