That is ... disappointing to say the least.

I wonder if Gitlab have any interest in picking up a solution and deploying it? It seems deeply sad that Gitlab should be so deficient here. When you have 20,000 tickets, search isn't optional any more .. it's a key tool.

Not working well for recent tickets (this one is 2 weeks old) is a huge drawback. Boo.
