Is there any way to find Trello cards by their ID (or card number, I'm not sure what it's called)?

I've found that you can simply enter the card number (for instance '12') in the search box, like this:

When you hit enter (or click the search button), your card number 12 of the current board will be immediately opened.
Actually, that's a great experience.

Unfortunately, searching for the card in the 'Search and Filter Cards' option won't return any results, and sometimes that can be confusing.

UPDATE: it seems that 'Search and Filter Cards' option should work as well (as Bobby pointed in his answer), but for some strange reason, it isn't working for me.

You can filter cards by their card number. Just click 'Search and Filter Cards' in the board sidebar and add the number.

That doesn't seem to work. I've just tried to filter my #12 card above, and the Trello search retrieved no cards. – Nelson Reis Jun 28 '12 at 15:45
did you filter by '12' or '#12'. I've found you need to include the '#' for it to pull up by card number – Jess Jun 28 '12 at 19:00
@Jess, both options (with or without '#') didn't worked out for me. Meanwhile, I've found a great way to do it, as you can see in my own answer below. – Nelson Reis Jun 29 '12 at 7:31
@NelsonReis If that's not working, it must be a bug. Could you send a link to the board to support@trello.com? We'll see what's up. – Bobby Grace Jul 6 '12 at 16:09
@BobbyGrace, I've just sent the email (Case FC2313426). Thanks. – Nelson Reis Jul 6 '12 at 16:26
