Maybe I'm missing the obvious here, but shouldn't there be an EASY way to simply search for/go to a ticket by ticket number in this system? Other than having to edit the URL in the address bar of the browser?

   No, you're not missing anything. At the moment, the only way to jump directly to ticket number is to use the URL bar.

   A solution for this is in the works though, as it's been mildly requested but consistent through Lighthouses lifespan.

   I was surprised to discover that this isn't built-in as well. Please add me to the "want this feature" list. In the meantime, I'm using a custom search in Firefox to hack my way around this issue. Replace ACCOUNT_NAME and PROJECT_ID with the appropriate values.

   <os:ShortName>Lighthouse Ticket</os:ShortName> <os:Description>Lighthouse ticket number search</os:Description> <os:InputEncoding>UTF-8</os:InputEncoding> http://ACCOUNT_NAME.lighthouseapp.com/projects/PROJECT_ID/tickets/ <os:Url type="text/html" method="GET" template="http://ACCOUNT_NAME.lighthouseapp.com/projects/PROJECT_ID/tickets/{searchTerms}"> </os:Url>

   Very cool workaround! Too bad Safari doesn't let you have custom searches...

   I also found your workaround to be useful... I'd much rather have the support baked in to the app though.

   I agree. This feature would be nice.
