8 years ago I swear @gainan you must work at an airport or something with your 5,000 hosts :smile_cat:
So filtering I could see being done by:
- Host (regex? substring?)
- netmask
- mac
or maybe the easest would be a "smart" search that as you type characters only shows where one of the fields matches.. like if you type "EA" maybe if MAC address match + "EASTER" in the SSID. Or if you type "23" maybe that would match 192.168.1.23, "23GUNSALUTE" and "10:20:30:40:23" etc..
It might be kinda slow tho with your giant network... but it's a cool idea and you could use the search framework to do it...
Sometimes you have a target you want to select, but it's on the position 234 out of a list of n hosts... so if you exit from the app, or start a new session, or change between interfaces, you have to scroll down everytime to the position of the target to select it, which is a bit tedious.
In other situations, there're hosts with a pattern on their name, like $NAME-PC (andrew-pc, mike-iphone, etc..), or if you are on a network with netmask 20, with this option you could filter by net range (display only range 192.168.10.1-254 => 192.168.10, display range 192.168.1.2-254 => 192.168.1.2).
Filtering by MAC address would also be useful, for filter by vendor (for example samsung/htc/apple devices)
