External ID's not included in search ?

[rbjtech 4996]

So I've looked in the FR's for 'Search' tag and can't see this anywhere obvious.

I was surprised that External ID's (IMDB, TMDB etc) are not included in the search results ?

ie if I put 'tt0088763' in the search box, I was expecting to get 'Back to the Future' listed .. but I get back no results at all.

The local metadata clearly has the ID's listed and available - so can we please include this in a global search ?

Thanks.
