NetBox version

v3.1.7

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Allow the search bar at the Tags page to also search through the Description column.

Use case

One use case for tags is for identifying VLANs and, in our use case, they are abbreviated, e.g., NWPT stands for New Port.
We'd like to be able to search for the term New Port, which is in the Description field, without needing to use the browser's Ctrl+F.

Database changes

None.

External dependencies

N/A

@minitriga The UI and REST API use the same filtersets for all models, so they're effectively the same.
