Search is broken in Flukebook

Bug Reports

In which Wildbook did the issue occur? Flukebook

What operating system were you using? (eg. MacOS 10.15.3) Windows 11

What web browser were you using? (eg. Chrome 79) Chrome

What is your role on the site? (admin, researcher, etc) Admin

What happened? Search now appears to include the long hash for each encounter, so we can no longer use whale ID numbers

What did you expect to happen? When searching for whale 6196 for example, the search bar at the top finds encounters with hashes that include 6196 and so individual 6196 is omitted from the list. See below

What are some steps we could take to reproduce the issue? Just search “6196” in the search bar.

Hi @ShaneGero

This is a known bug that we have a ticket for: Quicksearch by individual ID omits taxonomy from match summary and displays matches by UUID · Issue #1113 · WildMeOrg/Wildbook · GitHub

The short answer is that quicksearch is checking for UUIDs in the search terms and displaying that instead of the individual ID. You can use the Individual Search page as a workaround (Search > Individuals > Identity filters > Individual name(s))
