NetBox version

v2.11.7

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Data stored inside custom fields are excluded from the custom search.

This is somewhat related to #6663 as I tried to search my entire NetBox database for all occurances of one incident number I references inside a custom field of an IP address.

The description field is searchable by the global search. Is there any reason this is not supported by the global search on custom fields?

Use case

List of all documentation changes related to e.g. one IT ticket/incident referenced via a custom field.

Database changes

No response

External dependencies

No response
