Improve Elastic Search to index and make all branches searchable / discoverable.
Description
Problem: Elastic Search does not search all branches today
Customer: https://gitlab.my.salesforce.com/0066100000EEtyF
Our POC customer is requesting Elastic Search index and search all branches. This is a key feature in their decision of using a collaborative software development platform.
Benefit: Improved Collaboration will benefit if we are able to search the entire repository before we create another Wheel.
Competitive Advantage: GitHUB's Elastic Search only searches the Default Branch. Only indexes the one branch. Other branches are not discoverable.
Proposal
Fix GitLab Enterprise Edition Elastic Search to search all branches by default or option to turn on/off. Ideally by 9.1 (4/22) or sooner for current customer POC, hoping to make a decision in early April.
