NetBox version

v2.11.7

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Functionality for the global search:
Add the ability to search for fields like "Label and Description" on interfaces and ports in the global search function.

Use case

This feature would help to quickly find ports on patch panels by the Label/Description value.

Currently, if we want to find a front port of a patch panel by label, we have to go over the device components view
