Bug in the phone app search function (Android)

Platform: Samsung Galaxy S25, Android 16

App version number, if a mobile app issue: 1.38.2 (646)

Browser, if a website issue:

URLs (aka web addresses) of any relevant observations or pages:

Screenshots of what you are seeing:

Description of problem: If you search within your own observations on a browser, the search returns the taxon you searched for, and any descendants, as it should. If you perform the same search on the app, it only returns the taxon you searched for, which has to be a bug right? It’s not very helpful.

Step 1: Search your observations on your phone for a taxon (Cleridae for example)

Step 2: Scratch your head when it only returns observations that were exactly identified as Cleridae, no descendant taxa

Step 3: Go repeat your search using a browser, where it works properly…

I suppose. It still seems like a bug to me though; it’s a very clunky way for search to work on the app…
