Full-text search for metabolite/reaction/gene IDs

[exaexa]

Target functionality

It is sometimes quite complicated to quickly find a ID (often numeric one) for a reaction in the model without looking at all possible reaction names and annotations.

There should be a search function, intended for interactive use only, that can quickly find the IDs.

Desired output

search_model(m, "glc")

says something like

Yeah your ID is either  M_glc__d_c or M_glc__d_e

Maybe we should just search SBO terms instead... "Good" models should have SBO terms for all the reactions and metabolites... This will probably fail spectacularly for 80% of models because people just don't add this info into their models..

moving to AFBCMs for future consideration
