NetBox version

v3.2.5

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Add a search field to the top of all relevant columns in each table, to match on values in that column specifically. For example, the search field for the "site" column in the devices table will match only on site name/slug.

Use case

Provides a convenient path for the user to filter results on specific fields rather than relying on the general purpose "quick search" field, which may return undesired results, and may not filter on all fields being displayed.

can we ask that this is toggle-able from a UI perspective (& by default hidden) sometimes these can clutter UI
