Action ID numbers- question, not an enhancement request; help needed

There doesn't seem to be a search feature to find existing Actions nor prior Actions by their Action ID numbers.  All  Actions have one, but I cannot find any reference as to how to search for an Action by its ID number.  In JD it is under Action Management / Search / Enter the Action number you are looking for -  click Search.  It finds the Action and brings it up regardless of the Record.  Often the only info I have is the Action ID number.  I 'presume' there is a search functionality for this-  and NOT by running a report nor creating a search.  There is no reference to Action IDs in any resource I could find-  thank you
