What does this MR do and why?
This MR adds support for searching issuables by their ID.
Previously, full_search only matched against text fields such as title and description.
Now, when :id is included in the search columns:
- If the query is purely numeric, it searches by exact ID.
- Otherwise, it performs a partial match against the stringified
ID(id::text ILIKE).
This improves usability by allowing users to quickly find an issuable directly by ID or by a partial ID match.
