Searchable Fields by Model

When you use a list view's search bar (the q= search), Nautobot matches your query against a specific set of fields for that model. This page documents which fields are searchable for each model.

This page is generated automatically from each model's SearchFilter definition, so it always reflects the current behavior of the code. It is not maintained by hand.

A few notes on reading the tables below:

  • Matches are case-insensitive partial matches unless otherwise defined by the model's filter.
  • A field name containing __ (for example, circuit_terminations__description) searches a field on a related object.
  • The id field matches an object's primary-key UUID exactly.

Tip

To scope a global search to a single model, prefix your query with in:$model (for example, in:Devices). See Search for details.
