[Feature Request] Allow numeric search independent of spaces/punctuation

Source: paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx#12450 · opened by @kevhof
Description

I often need to search for long numbers in document titles or OCR content, but the stored format may vary:

• 7564839201
• 756 483 9201
• 75 64 83 92 01

Currently, document search does not seem to handle this in a space-insensitive way, so users have to try many manual variants with OR.

Would it be possible to support normalized numeric search, so a query like 7564839201 could also match equivalent representations with spaces, dots, or dashes?

This would be especially useful for:

• invoice/reference numbers
• account/reference numbers
• social security / insurance identifiers
