Change to existing functionality
Proposed functionality
The "quick search" box at the top of the Devices page searches only a few fields: https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/blob/v3.6.7/netbox/dcim/filtersets.py#L1013-L1024
I'd like it to also search the description field.
Note: I'm not talking about the global search box at the top. I mean this one:
Use case
I use the description field for a "functional name", which is the colloquial way users talk about a device. Most of the time I don't know the
name
of the device I'm looking for, but I know thedescription
andlocation
. So the most efficient way to find it is to start at the Locations page, click on Devices which leads to http://netbox/dcim/devices/?location_id=10, and then search for it by description.Database changes
