It seems to be working fine for me, what is the issue you’re experiencing?

What’s not working? When I look inside those observations, I see identifications from boris\_b and loarie

For me the first 4 observations are:

When you have two (or more) values entered in a list, that means A _or_ B. This is true for pretty much all search functions on iNat. So here that means any observation with an ID by loarie _or_ an ID by borisb, which is what is showing up on that page.

Thanks, how do I search for observations where both of them have identification?
