Yep. That's about it. Pretty simple.
You keep hitting the "enter" key all the time too, eh?
In which screen? On the main page (search nodes)? Or in Managed Nodes?
I was going to answer this with "Main page -> Search Nodes" but tested both...and they both work now!? I swear in a previous version they did not.
Currently running latest version of NPM (10.7). We were on 10.5 at the beginning of the year, but have been doing a lot of perf tuning since then...either the feature was implemented since 10.5 or our system was so slow hitting Enter looked like it did "nothing"
We did indeed fix this behavior in many places where it was inconsistent in 10.7. If we missed one, please let us know.
through the integrated search in the menu navigation introduced in NPM 12.2, enter triggers search.
