Search by creator and geographic reference should accept NAIDs #84

Searching by creator or geographic reference in the standard advanced search appears to only be based on the authority name field. Putting in a NAID for an identifier, like "10610891", will give in 0 results. It's already possible to search by creator/reference ID, since that is how the links in records are created (e.g. https://catalog.archives.gov/search?q=*:*&f.creatorIds=10610891), but there is just no way to do that in the interface. It would be nice if there were a way to do this via the advanced search menu, whether just by putting the NAID in the "creator" or "geographic reference" field, or by having a new input box just for creator NAID. (I prefer the latter, but only if it is somehow hidden until selected, to avoid clutter, especially since this is a very specific option.)
