Love this, great information. I was trying to figure out how to add observation tag values to search strings, which is super useful. However, I noticed that when the tag is a taxon tag (e.g., Host Plant ID), results are returned only for exact matches and do not including daughter taxa. This makes sense, but in some cases it would be even more useful if I could, for example, get results with a tag containing a genus OR any species in that genus. For example, https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?project_id=33779&field:Host%20Plant%20ID=53854 returns observations in Leafminers of North America that have the tag Host Plant ID = Ilex, but not those with Host Plant ID = Ilex opaca (or any other Ilex identified beyond genus). Would be nice if it could do the latter as well. Also, looks like it doesn’t allow you to search multiple taxon ids at once by concatenating with a comma.
