Originally created by @BrunoBlanes on GitHub (Feb 8, 2023).

NetBox version

v3.4.4

Feature type

Data model extension

Proposed functionality

Allow global search to also lookup objects based on their tag.

Use case

Currently, in order to be able to lookup tagged items, I have to go into the tag's menu, find the targeted tag to then only see all objects associated with it.
Adding this to the global search would save a long scroll and quite a few clicks.

Database changes

NetBox's search implementation intentionally avoid matching on related objects, because doing so will often return many unrelated and undeisrable results. It would effectively return the same results as the existing tagged object list you describe above.

And that is the idea, to have the same results, except all in one place, where search results should be. The Tag's menu is hidden all the way in the bottom of the page, making it hard to search. The point of this request is to unite the search functionality of it, not to improve uppon.
