NetBox version

4.1.7

Feature type

New functionality

Proposed functionality

Add support for primary_ip based searches in API/Web-UI, and it is an exact match, not a fuzzy match.

Use case

I use netbox as the network device and server information database. When I see the IP address of a device on another system, and when I go back to Netbox to find out what device it is, I find that searching by IP address is often inefficient. This is because I can only use the "q" field to search for an IP address. However, if I have, for example, 10.0.0.1 / 10.0.0.10 / 10.0.0.11 / 10.1.0.123 ...
I only search for 10.0.0.1, and a whole bunch of devices are returned, which is frustrating.

Database changes
