Description
On sites that have lots of content with similar names, it can be almost impossible to find the correct page using the search tab. One way to fix this is described in #38224 (changing the number of posts returned, or providing a filter so developers can change it).
Another option would be to check if the search query is_numeric(), and if so, search for a page with that ID. This could either be implemented in core directly, or appropriate filters could be provided so a plugin could implement this functionality.

I don't think that implementing the
is_numeric()check directly in core is the correct approach here. There will inevitably be a use-case where there is content that uses numbers in the title - making searching for it even more difficult.However, having filters available to the developers to be able to implement a change like this and by extension potentially address some of the issues mentioned in #38224 would be great.
