Is there a way we can query search our IDs for others? For example, if I’d like to search my IDs for the genus Sedum, or the family Rosaceae? How do I segregate them without manually going through page by page? Can that option be added?
I don’t think that’s possible.
This is how to get an list of IDs for others: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?ident_user_id=bugbaer¬_user_id=bugbaer
(just replace my username “bugbaer” with your ID in both places). This pulls up an Explore mode display of all the observations. If you want to filter for a particular taxon, just put the name into the Species window.
These are examples I keep for myself. Replace whitneybrook with your username. Replace the taxon name or id depending on which one you are using.
By Scientific Name (replace name): https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?ident_user_id=whitneybrook&place_id=any&taxon_name=Pinaceae
By Taxa ID number (replace number): https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?ident_user_id=whitneybrook&place_id=any&taxon_id=50829
The taxon filter applies to the current “Community ID” of the observation, not to the ID from the user in the filter “ident_user_id”.
It can help, but it’s not an exact response to the question.
You can also use this tool:

that page additionally has a parameter that allows you to filter for IDs for others: https://www.inaturalist.org/identifications?taxon_id=55735&user_id=wakingsoil&for=others
the API --via GET /v1/identifications – also provides more options for filtering for identifications. this would be the equivalent request as above: https://api.inaturalist.org/v1/identifications?user_id=wakingsoil&own_observation=false&taxon_id=55735
here’s a page that can help to view some of that information from the API in a more human-friendly format: https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNatAPIv1_identifications?user_id=wakingsoil&own_observation=false&taxon_id=55735
