Summary
While working on a large project there are groups split in GitLab like Frontend repositories and Backend repositories, time after time to have a faster navigation between related projects I try to use their URL's in description so you can switch between front and back. Afterwards this creates a problem where if you search for frontend keyword you would get all backend repos listed and vice versa. Naturally this would inflict all URL's you may place on description of the Repository.
Steps to reproduce
Navigate to a repository and place a URL at its description save changes, proceed and search terms that might be in the URL placed in description. The repository containing strings in a link will list at search results.
What is the current bug behavior?
Repository search tries to match URL strings with query.
What is the expected correct behavior?
Exclude matching strings from anchor tags href's attribute (href="SEO-FRIENDLY-STRINGS-IN-A-URL").
