Search bar for IP Adresses?

in Fing App Feature requests
Hi everyone, wondering if there is a way to identify or better yet search for IP addresses in your network. I have 2 networks in my home, also have 2 repeaters. The repeaters have doubled up my devices in the list. Not a huge deal, just that I have to spend a ton of time identifying what a device actually is by individually going in and viewing the ip address to see if there is a match. Is there a way to search on the app or desktop for an IP address to see what it is?

    Hi @Renosmusic welcome to the community and thanks for asking your question.
    At present the Fing App does not have a search feature for IP address, however I concur that it would be a useful feature to add to the tool.  Let's tag @Robin and @Ciaran in here so that they can be made aware of the suggestion.

    Justing adding my Up Vote to this. Didn't realise we couldn't search for IP in the search bar. Just had a situation where I wanted to disconnect a particular machine but only had the IP address but no quick way to identify which machine it was.
