Feature Request: Search Devices

JeffInKY — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 18:02:35 GMT

It's a bit weird to have to suggest this feature to Google of all companies but why can't I search my very long list of devices by MAC or IP or even name? I have to scroll through pages and pages of devices many of which just say "Unknown".

My intent would be to search by MAC and rename the devices and then be able to quickly find and manage them as needed.....right now it's just way too much work.

Here is how to submit feedback to Google. This board is comprised of users like yourself, helping other users.

Thanks for sharing the feedback info, kiltguy2112.

JeffInKY,

You should definitely submit the feedback via the method shared above. Our internal teams review that feedback and use it to make decisions about the direction of product development. I can also pass your comments along to our internal teams as well and I'll do that for you now. Aside from sharing that as a feature request, is there anything else I can help with?

Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks. I'm already aware of that and, in fact, have submitted the same feedback on multiple occasions using that method. First started submitting over 2 years ago. Nothing's changed so far.

I'm mostly curious to know whether others would find this feature useful as well.

It seems like a good idea, JeffInKY. There are some users like yourself that would have higher counts on devices and need better ways of sorting through them based on a reliable ID method. We'll see if others chip in on this.

Thanks,
Jeff
