Feature Request: Search by MacAddress

Hello everyone,

I would like to propose a possible feature implementation for GLPI's search function. Currently, I'm using GLPI to manage my network inventory, which includes several switches discovered and inventoried via GLPI agents. These switches provide detailed information about connected devices, including their MacAddresses.

It would be extremely useful to extend GLPI's search functionality to include MacAddresses, both those of assets in the main inventory and those of devices connected to switches. This would allow for:

- Quickly locating a device: by simply entering its MacAddress in the search bar.
- Tracking devices on the network: even when they are not present in the main inventory.
- Simplifying troubleshooting activities: by quickly identifying the physical location of a device based on its MacAddress.

Does anyone know if there is a plugin, or an existing search filter that can be used to search for a MacAddress within Glpi?

I hope this proposal will be taken into consideration. Thank you for your attention.

Best regards,
Michele
