If it wasn't clear: If isbn is specified, that overrides all other specified search data. That's how you "tell" calibre to use it - just specify it.
There can be many isbns for a single book. A different one is issued for the paperback edition, the hardcover, etc. Specifying author/title gives you a better chance of matching at least one isbn for the book, while specifying the isbn lets you match the correct isbn for a scanned book. It just depends on what you want.
