When itemBarcodeFallbackSearch is in effect, falling back to a keyword search
currently performs the search -- then filters out items that do not have
barcodes.  This is because the checkout interface currently requires an item
barcode to make a loan; it cannot identify the item using the itemnumber.

It would be nice if the itemnumber could be used instead.  That way, if a
library truly does not use item barcodes or RFID tags, they could leave the
barcode field blank and still be able to circulate.  Currently, they would have
to fill in dummy values for the barcode.
