So, I appreciate that this annoying. There are several things needed to fix it.

Firstly, we need to verify that we preserve strings of numerals in the
full text search index.

If they are not indexed, we need to change the code so they are, and
reindex the DB.

Once they are indexed then it should be fairly easy to change the
search to not shortcut on a number, and just list the exact bug first
in the results; I think this would make a lot of sense and still be
useful for folk.

We could look at a foo:xx thing to control this, but I don't think its needed.
