Exact ISBN matches are problem for Koha side. We can't re-create exact format
since parts of it denote country, publisher, edition and even if we know where
to insert dash for country, guessing correct split between country and
publisher is impossible.

I noticed that general web search on OpenLibrary site using ISBNs without
dashes work, so there is that index somewhere, can we get it for /ils_search ?

Given wiki nature of OpenLibrary (and theoretical possibility of editing ISBN
dashes) I think it makes sense :-)

Robin in fact runs following regexp before calling your API:

 s/[^0-9X]//g

just to clean-up data from Koha before submitting.
