NetBox version

2.11.4

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

It would be great to include the column virtual chassis in to the search field in the devices table.

Maybe it would be better, to include all user specific choosen columns into the free text search.

Use case

Without this functionality it's not easy to find an unnamed device, if the user doesn't knows whether a switch is a single switch or virtual chassis member. In case the user doesn't know it's a virtual chassis, the search just would return nothing.
For users without deep network design knowledge it could be a great benefit.
