I think it should work, but today it requires that the key be given 
exactly as indexed. In the LD backend (RawLDBackend, there is an 
external2internal routine, that could be adapted to be used here.) 
Perhaps, a StrongsNumberHelper that has a couple of static methods that 
normalize as needed in RawLDBackend). It should be normalized as it is 
added to the index and requests should be normalized in the same 
fashion. Would you like to fix this one?

Tonny is right that today the number needs to be padded to 4 places.
