@jeremystretch Interesting. I'm running Netbox v2.11.3 via Docker. Could you confirm that it works on your side? Would it work with the provided example data (so we can run a common test, e.g., in Docker, to isolate the problem)?

Yes, it works; please see the associated filter test. You can also test it yourself on the public demo instance.

I just added 7c:32:66:de:cb:06 to this interface:

typing 7c:32:66:de:cb:06 into the search box yields nothing

Sorry for being thick here... what am I doing wrong?

That's the global search box: You want the interfaces filter (at /dcim/interfaces/). The global search doesn't search for any device components.
