Searching for a host address in the global search listed the matching IP addresses without telling which host they belong to. The host name was only shown as additional context when the same address was configured on two or more hosts, which made the search results depend on unrelated hosts.

The host name is now always shown as context for host address matches. It is omitted only if the host is named after its address, where it would merely repeat the result title.
