Search For Nodes - How to Set Default Search Type

Hello,

How can I set the default search type in the "Search For Nodes" widget? Presently (by default) it looks for Node Name and I would prefer for it to be set to "IP Address". (*Really* ideally I would prefer for it to be set for "IP Address" *and* "Node Name", but I'll take what I can get...)

Thanks,

John

As to what I see for the "Search Nodes" widget,you can do a search by Node name or IP Address or..etc from the list of options in the drop down available.

Which version of NPM are you currently running?

Yes, there are a number of ways that it is possible to search, I'd like to set a *different* one to search on by default. Instead of "Node Name" as the default type, I'd like to search on "IP Address" as the default type. And, if I could have anything, I'd like the search to be "Node Name *AND* IP Address", since I have to select from the results anyway, why not?)

Currently running NPM 10.1.3

I'd like to see the "Search for Nodes" AND "Search for Interfaces" resources work like the Search in Manage Nodes/Interfaces resource; no need to specify a wildcard, no dropdown list to select from. It figures out whether you enter a name, partial name, ip address, partial ip address. The data search is also done, I believe, across custom properties as well. It's very convenient!
