The return of global search

This would apply to either NMS or DI.

Previously NMS had a global search bar available in the top header of the NMS GUI.

This search was insanely useful to us as we would troubleshoot customer issues, or work through problems with devices.  Since we use IDs that traverse devices, being able to find all instances of said IDs was SUPER helpful in our day to day work.

And that's just one example.  It was also just the quickest way to frequently find a specific item if you weren't sure where it was.

    No sir - what we do as a Telcom is identify our circuits throughout our devices. So a customer might go from Location A -> B and touch four devices in that path - their circuit (or service) is identified by an internal ID of ours. So it gets placed onto the devices in some manner (maybe its on the physical interface at the customer handoff - maybe its a sub interface in our MPLS configuration, etc) but if we want to know what devices this circuit touches we used to be able to use the global search to pick up that descriptor. Obviously this hinges on us doing our jobs and labeling things properly within device configurations as well.

    Thanks for the suggestion, we are actively looking for avenues to bring this functionality into DI, so stay tuned. I'm curious though, when you mention you searched using IDs in the NMS, do you mean you were using device IDs from SevOne or another ID?
