Description

Expected Behavior

I expected the domain field to also search for resolved IP Addresses. As the field says domain or IP address. However it does not. I guess it might find IP Addresses when you enter a IP address as a test target, but I couldn't find an example. I think it would be quite helpful to also search the resolved IP Addresses to better search for IP based blocking and for example to verify that an IP is blocked in a country or AS.

Actual Behavior

Only searches for domains

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the search logic in the codebase to understand how domain filtering currently works, then modify it to also query resolved IP addresses.
