NetBox version

3.1.4

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

All ID references in netbox, interfaces, front ports, rear ports, cables, and the rest of objects that have an ID refered to, for them to be able to be searched in the main top global search box, and filtered, in each netbox section.

Use case

When I have an ID extracted from logs and need to search for it, so that it makes it quicker to find it, instead of going control+F in the browser.

Database changes

This is a database ID, if you have the database ID you can just simply navigate to the object (example: /dcim/devices/1234/ ).

I don't think this needs to be searchable.
