NetBox version

v3.2.4

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Navigate to the Device List.
Use the Quick search filter.
Enter a role name.

Result: No search result.


I would like to search for all servers.
Our role names start with "Server | " followed by their task.

For example:
"Server | Database
"Server | Application
"Server | Backup
"Server | Web
etc.

The general search intentionally doesn't match on the role name, because there is a specific filter provided for this, which works much more efficiently. However, #9583 seems like it would solve for your use case.
