Description

### Problem Statement

Requested via[ ZD ticket](https://sentry.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/153365): Support the ability to search for events using the shortened or partial version of the event ID, as shown in the issue details screen. This would make it easier to locate events from screenshots or error modals where only a truncated ID is visible.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the Issues search entry point and the code that handles event IDs, then compare full-ID lookup with the shortened ID shown in issue details. Done means shortened IDs find the intended events while existing full-ID searches continue to work.
