Search API - Allow notes scope for group search

Problem to solve

The Search UI allows users to use Advanced Global Search to search for notes scope

The Search API does not allow the notes scope.

Intended users

All users of search, but I picked out a few personas from the list that I thought may be the in based on the descriptions.

Personas are described at https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/product-marketing/roles-personas/

User experience goal

The user should be able to use the Web UI and API search with the same scopes.

Proposal

Search API Group search should allow the notes scope.

Documentation

Availability & Testing

Will need to add tests for the new scope in areas where they already exist for the Group Search API

  • Unit test changes
  • Integration test changes
  • End-to-end test changes (will need to get with the Quality stable counterpart on this)
  • Performance test changes
