Users want to be able to search across multiple projects/repositories in global search
Insight
Users want to be able to search across multiple projects/repositories when looking for content.
Supporting evidence
Currently, the only way for users to search across multiple projects/repositories is by searching across the group level. There are times when users want to be able to select only a subset of those projects/repositories to search within.
Although this was need/insight was captured for code searches, it also has value across the other scopes in global search (issues, MRs, etc). Since it would also be confusing to only offer this for code searches, this added ability to select multiple projects would apply across all search scopes.
Action
The URL should still be shareable with the multiple projects selected.
