Description

When you do a global search, and you get tables for matching Devices and Virtual Machines, the Devices have an IP address column but the Virtual Machines do not.

Relates to #1496: if you go to the Virtual Machines listing and do a search there the IP address is now shown, but the corresponding update to global search results page was not made.

Could you please describe what exactly you are searching for?

If I enter an IP Address (that exists and is attached to a VM) in the global search box, I get 3 tables, Aggregates, Prefixes and IP Addresses. The 3rd table correctly shows the IP Address, and shows the VM as "parent", no matter if it's the primary IP for the VM or not.

Using the global search box on the home page, I search for a device or VM by name, entering part of its name. For example, let's say I enter "ftp".

I then see devices with "ftp" in their name, and VMs with "ftp" in their name.

In this results page, the table of devices includes primary IP address; however the table of VMs is missing the primary IP address column.

update

Just to be clear, the global search results page is /search/?q=ftp&obj_type=

This is different to going to the virtual machines page and searching there, which is /virtualization/virtual-machines/?q=ftp. In this case, the results do include a column for the IP address.

In this case, the results *do* include a column for the IP address.

This was added for devices in #1561. We can add it for VMs too.

Ah I see, yes, you are correct, that is indeed missing. I searched for an IP that's why I got a different result
