[x] Feature request

Environment

  • Python version: 3.7
  • NetBox version: 2.6.12

Proposed Functionality

It would be very useful to enable "enhanced search" checkbox to search by all description fields of devices. I know It was already be closed without satisfaction in #1363 and #3468 and #3076 but i want to show 2 use cases.

Use Case

  1. To document far end device without creating it in netbox if it couldn't be in netbox according to accepted gathering data depth.
  2. Search some lost forgotten port or connection
