NetBox version

v2.11.7

Python version

3.7

Steps to Reproduce

Click on Devices -> Interface connections
Take note of a device that's in the "Device B" column
Enter the name of that device in the device field under "search"

Expected Behavior

I expect all connected interfaces for a given device to show up when I search for a given device.
Having to know the A/BNess of a cable makes searching for connections nearly useless.

This looks related to 5223, but I'm not sure that "removing dedicated views" would necessarily provide a fix for usage of the provided GUI.

Observed Behavior

No results are returned for connections for which the device is in the B end.
You may receive some results if the device in question is on the A-side of other various connections, but this is incomplete data.
