Add Clarification Regarding Filtering By Epic

Ryan Kelly requested to merge docs-clarify-epic-filter into master

What does this MR do?

This MR updates the Filtering issue and merge request lists section of our Search through GitLab documentation to clarify that filtering by epic can only occur in the group where the epic was created. Epics created in higher level groups will not appear when attempting to filter by epic.

I was a unsure how to best add this clarification to this documentation as I felt a sub-bullet point under Epic (introduced in GitLab 12.9), including child epic (introduced in GitLab Ultimate 13.0) may throw the list off. I chose to go with a NOTE: but please feel free to change this if you feel it can fit better elsewhere.

Author's checklist (required)

Do not add the feature, frontend, backend, ~"bug", or database labels if you are only updating documentation. These labels will cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

When applicable:

Review checklist

All reviewers can help ensure accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to the Documentation Guidelines and Style Guide.

1. Primary Reviewer

  • Review by a code reviewer or other selected colleague to confirm accuracy, clarity, and completeness. This can be skipped for minor fixes without substantive content changes.

2. Technical Writer

  • Technical writer review. If not requested for this MR, must be scheduled post-merge. To request for this MR, assign the writer listed for the applicable DevOps stage.

For more information about labels, see Technical Writing workflows - Labels.

For suggestions that you are confident don't need to be reviewed, change them locally and push a commit directly to save others from unneeded reviews. For example:

  • Clear typos, like this is a typpo.
  • Minor issues, like single quotes instead of double quotes, Oxford commas, and periods.

For more information, see our documentation on Merging a merge request.

3. Maintainer

  1. Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  2. Ensure a release milestone is set.
  3. If there has not been a technical writer review, create an issue for one using the Doc Review template.
