DNS rewrites UI improvements

[binaryfire]

Hi

First of all, thanks for your work on this great project. I've started using AdGuard's DNS rewrites for assigning domains to my all my local development apps. The UX isn't the best once the list gets long. It'd be great if you could implement the following:

1. Search box to find specific entries
2. Remember the last used sorting option, perhaps in the session (eg. domain -> ascending)

I just came here to search if this request was here. It's a pain looking for a rewrite - search, sort options and/or filtering or maybe tags would be nice.

+1 for this.

A live search that filters the rewrite list while typing would make a significant difference once the list grows beyond a few entries.

It would also be useful to support tags or labels for organizing and filtering rewrites. For example, I would use categories such as:

• split-dns
• public-services
• ai-services
• infrastructure

Tags could also provide a lightweight form of visual grouping without necessarily introducing more complex group-level DNS behavior.

Being able to add an optional comment or description to each rewrite would also be valuable. Some entries benefit from documenting why they exist—for example:

Uses split DNS to avoid hairpin NAT issues.

Without such a note, it can be difficult to remember the reason for a specific rewrite months or years later.

In summary, the most useful improvements for managing larger rewrite lists would be:

1. Live search/filtering while typing.
2. Tags or labels, ideally with filtering support.
3. An optional comment or description field.
4. Persistent sorting and basic bulk-management options.

Please add notes, comments or descriptions for dns rewrite rules. It would greatly help to manage long lists of rewrites.
