This change was intentional in order to show the natural order without asserting a default search criteria in the UI. It fixed performance issues with default views using non-indexed columns in the search criteria (eg: mac != NULL), which was causing heavy MySQL queries - temporary tables - in large deployments. 

 

In v12 all the default views are expected to perform well in most deployments, while the user still has the ability to define criteria at their own risk by adding a “and” statement .

Hello, 

I’m rebuilding my would production PF server to be on ver 12 and I discovered some discrepancies in the Nodes page namely in the search capabilities and functionality

Here’s what I see on the Search field if I click plus sign on the Search button

 



 

Same page on ver 11 looks this way

 



 

As you see, the latter is more advantageous in terms of search options, I can select many criteria easily as opposed to ver 12 where I need to supply this search criteria by guessing how I can do it
