Can you display the number of observations that come up when one done a search in a person’s observations? I do a search of my observations, looking for all I have uploaded regarding a specific location (for example), and I have to manually count them all instead of seeing “Total : 38 Observations in your Search” (for example).
Hi @arthur-windsor, welcome to the forum! I moved this topic from #feature-requests to #general because it seemed more like a question, and it’s already possible to display the number of observations in a search.
If you click “Your Observations” in the header, it brings you to: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&subview=grid&user_id=arthur-windsor&verifiable=any
From there, you can view your total number of observations (currently 670). To limit it to a certain place, click Fliters>More filters>then type the place name in the bottom left. For example, you have 427 observations in Palm Beach County: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=1754&user_id=arthur-windsor&verifiable=any
No. When you search your own observations and use the filters, for example “feeding” I used as a Tag. The search successfully brings up the Observations I am looking for. I would like at the top for it to say… “27 Observations found in this search”.
Also, in the same search area, if you are doing a search of your own Observations, you can search by Month in which you had the Observation, it would be nice to also choose one of the four seasons.
I am proud of myself, I added 18 new places in Palm Beach County and some neighboring areas yesterday.
Thank you for your time.
Can you please share URLs of the searches you’re performing?
Ah, for some context, what is now called the “Edit observations” page is a pretty outdated page on the website and I only use it when I want to do batch editing (rarely). It should probably just be removed and replaced with the “Your Observations” page, or updated with more/better editing features.
If/Whenever it’s updated I agree it would make sense to add the number of observations returned in a search. But I’m pretty sure that page has barely been touched for something like 4 or 5 years.
In the main header of the website, click Your Observations:
Then click Filters:
Then type in or select your filters:
Then at the top of the page it displays the number of results.
Another way is to, if you’re on an existing observation, click the tag that says feeding:
And then select your username in the filters:
This is exactly what I was looking for! You were very kind and generous with your time to help guide me here, and I thank you for that. By the way, my FEEDING observations are now at 50 as I look on my hard drive for more. This way of viewing what tags I have accumulated is a good tool to help me hone in on specific types of observations I will also want to post, like MATING, INJURY, etc. You have given me something that will help me climb in the ranks, thanks again!
:) happy iNatting!
