Inconsistency between Full Text Search and FS Catalog

I've noticed an inconsistency between FS Full Text Search and the FS Catalog that is likely to frustrate novice users. Within Full Text Search, the IGN (Image Group Number) is always displayed with leading zeroes. And within FS Catalog, users can search for the collection using an IGN with leading zeroes, but these leading zeroes must be deleted when searching for the IGN within that collection. In example, if a Full Text Search user finds an image from IGN 007629105, the user can determine that the IGN is part of the Catalog collection "Probate files collection, early to 1880" (which includes 1622 IGNs). But if the user then wants to search that collection using the Film/Digital Notes field, their search will be unsuccessful unless they know to delete the leading zeroes (see images below - one without leading zeroes and one with leading zeroes).

If possible, please remove the leading zeroes from the IGNs that display in Full Text Search. Alternatively, please set the Catalog's Film/Digital Notes field so that it accepts leading zeroes.
