NetBox version

v3.5.4

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

The searchbar now brings you to the global search. That result is a list of objects that match the value you are searching.
While the results are fast and accurate, they are missing the extra beef to quickly select the object you need (ex if there are 2 identical ip addresses, in different VRF's, you cant tell which one to use).
Do get more detailed info, you have to go to the model search page

I would suggest, that if you add a keyword to the search, that it brings you directly to the model search page, rather than the global search:
Some example:

Based on the keywords entered, a dropdown of all values could already be presented using the results of the globalsearch (typeahead style)

Use case

To get more details on a search, you have to use the model search:

  • open the sidebar
  • find the model
  • open the model page
  • either use the quickfilter (without function 'back' button of the browser)
  • or click the filter tab, enter the search value, scroll all the way down and press search (with a good 'back' returning you to the search results)

Using the keywords, it could provide you a quicker way to the detailed results.
Without the keyword, you get the global result
