Inefficiency with Search bar

What Wildbook should this feature be in?

All, but I specifically use Flukebook

What would you like to see?

When searching for an individual, e.g. CRC-6, in the search bar, I would like that specific ID to appear, not just IDs that contain that ID nested in them, e.g. CRC-671, CRC-684, CRC-654, etc. I know I can go to the “Search” topic > “Individuals” > select species under “Observation attribute filters” > enter CRC-6 under “Identity filters”, etc. but it’s quite is inefficient.

How would this functionality help you?

It would increase efficiency when searching for specific individuals

If requesting a new location ID, include

  • Is this is nested beneath another location in the hierarchy?
  • Is there a prefix for region-based naming? (optional)
  • GPS coordinates in decimal format (optional)

Note: Not all feature requests can be accepted, but all of them are reviewed by our product team. We’re unable to provide implementation timelines for accepted requests. We are a small team with many competing priorities. Thanks for your understanding!

Changing this to a bug report because I think this may actually be a bug. I’ll follow up with a ticket link soon.

Hi @achantal14

This fix will be included in the upcoming Wildbook 10.10 update. We expect to start rolling it out by the end of this month.

Thank you so much @Anastasia !!! You’re the best!
