Environment

  • Python version: Don't know
  • NetBox version: bcf91b9edb4b (v2.5.6)

Proposed Functionality

When only one result is found in search it saves a click if Netbox would open that object rather than showing the list. That saves some time.

Use Case

The quickest way to a device is via search, it would save time to go to it directly if you know the name.

Database Changes
