Being able to search for the issue number and find it

Problem to solve

I cannot search for the issue number in the search box:

Whereas the issue exists: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/12937

Intended users

All users searching for issue numbers

Further details

The idea is that you don't have to manually type in the issue number in the URL to get to it, you can search for it in the project box.

Proposal

Consider the issue numbers as searchable items, and present it in the search results. I would propose either the raw issue number 12345 or a #12345 would be acceptable.

Permissions and Security

No permission needed, as long as the issue is public and in a project that the user can see.

Documentation

Testing

No risk identified that I can think of

What does success look like, and how can we measure that?

What is the type of buyer?
