NetBox version

v3.7.4

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Add the identifier field of L2VPN to the corresponding SearchIndex, so that it's possible to enter an L2VPN identifier into the global search and turn up the corresponding L2VPN object in the results.

Use case

We use the identifier field of L2VPN to note a vxlan id.
It would be nice to also see the l2vpn, when we search for the vxlan id.

#13927 exists, but the issue was also about making the identifier unique & required.
