Hi,
This is a friendly reminder to everyone about the preferred way to link to bugs in your commit messages. When you include them as part of the footer, they are indexed and are thus searchable. For example:
""" Fixing some weird bug
More explanation Blah blah blah.
Bug: 1234 Change-Id: Ia90..... """
So when you do this, you're able to search for "bug:1234" via Gerrit. By doing this, you're also removing it from the first line (which was our old habit, mostly from SVN days), providing you more space to be descriptive in that first line.
I also prefer it in the header. The bug report is the best description :)
Is it not possible for Gerrit to search if its in the header? or make it so

Tools should be coded around people. Not the other way around.
No, Gerrit cannot detect these in the header. Also, this is pretty standard Git-fu to include this sort of metadata in the footer of the commit.
