Issue is here:

07ae7c8a6e/netbox/dcim/filtersets.py (L1082)

The search method searches an integer field without checking if the query is an integer. So it works for q=1 but not for q=string.

An example of how we've done this other places:

07ae7c8a6e/netbox/dcim/filtersets.py (L167-L170)

just as a quick aside, searching by name specifically does work with e.g. https://demo.netbox.dev/dcim/virtual-device-contexts/?name=foo (as with other search forms, name is not surfaced on the UI, but modifying the URL works)
