Search with a numerical comma
Discover should be able to handle a numerical comma in a title. We received a patron complaint that they couldn't find the title 20,000 Leagues under the sea. They were searching (correctly) with the comma in "20,000" (see this search: https://ada-lynx.na3.iiivega.com/search?query=20,000%20leagues%20under%20the%20sea&searchType=everything&pageSize=10). When searched as "20000", all the results properly come up (see https://ada-lynx.na3.iiivega.com/search?query=20000%20leagues%20under%20the%20sea&searchType=everything&pageSize=10). This is very difficult to explain to both the public and to the staff when our old PAC gives results to that without issue.

This should be a bug fix; this error is almost impossible to explain to the public and causes mistrust in our library systems because it exists.

This update is crucial for searching. I can't imagine patrons will try searching without the comma, since it part of the title - they'll just assume we don't have the title.

This should not even have to be an 'enhancement'.
