This is a rather general feature request, as I'm unsure what the actual implementation would or should look like.

We manage a lot of laptops with Puppet, laptops that are continually changing hostnames and IP addresses.
This means that we do not use the hostname as the puppet certname, we instead generate UUIDs that look something like "ecd62621-dc65-4f2e-a6ed-81037e73c0af".
This means that web interfaces such as the Foreman are a little difficult to use to find actual machines....

I'm not sure what the solution is here, but a few things I can think of:

• Allow "search" to search on arbitrary fact values and puppet variables. hostname, IP, custom facts we have such as "primary_user".
• Allow the host display to be customized easily to display additional fields such as the ones above.
