Deployment Type

Self-hosted

NetBox Version

v4.2.6, v3.7.5

Python Version

3.11

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Navigate to Circuits/Circuits in the left menu
  2. By the Quick search field try to find the record belonging to any Provider

Expected Behavior

The Quick search field should search through all fields in the Circuit record

Observed Behavior

The field Quick search looks and returns records based on for example Comments, but not on all the mandatory parameters - my look on this issue.

As with all models, the quick search functionality is limited to concrete fields on the model. It does not span related models, as doing so greatly increases the false positive rate in search results. Instead, you can easily filter circuits by the desired provider.
