NetBox version

v3.4.3

Python version

3.9

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create an IP prefix 1.2.3.0/24 with default values, do not create any IP addresses
  2. Enter 1.2.3.4 into the search bar at the top

Expected Behavior

Search finds no exact results but shows the 1.2.3.0/24 prefix and information about it.

Observed Behavior

Search finds no results at all.

Short of searching manually the user has no easy way of knowing e.g. which customer owns the prefix the IP is contained within (since individual IPs might not be documented).
