NetBox version

v3.6.7

Feature type

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:
292338347-981ea9b3-4c1b-4fee-a5e9-665d0a069838

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 the description and location. 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
