On the /observations page, when hrank and lrank are the same rank, it sometimes shows unexpected results, more observations than just those at that rank. This seems to be the case for: FIXED infraclass (15.7 million obs) FIXED subterclass (15.7 million obs) genushybrid (1.7 million – genus resu…

Thanks @bouteloua , I’ll put this on the report for next week.

This is an old bug, from when I first joined iNat over a year ago. I regularly hit my head on this, as for some projects I have to report on the level of identifications - i.e. to family, family to genus, species level and lower. If I include the subgeneric or subspecific ranks the results are garb…

This should be fixed, or at least much better now. Let us know how it’s looking.

Infraclass, subterclass, section, and subsection seem okay now, but genushybrid, hybrid, subspecies, variety, form, and infrahybrid are still giving me the wrong results (check links in first post).

Anything below species rank doesn’t show up when searching for plants. Also; https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?hrank=subspecies&lrank=subspecies&place_id=129265&subview=grid&taxon_id=51815&view=species Shouldn’t this only show subspecies?

subspecies seemed to work (at least partly). Do we have any idea on when this and the Explore page are to be redesigned?

this problem still exists unfortunately; I’ve been trying to filter to hybrid-hybrid and cannot get it to work, it just treats it as if I was using species-species

As still present and continuing now, nearly a year later. Hybrids need to work with their priority level and filter properly.

This bug continues! @tiwane can you get a github issue made? It’s also worth noting that this bug also affects the identify modal along with explore. Filters do not work for hybrids (appears to return only species level obs): https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?hrank=hybrid&lrank=hybrid&plac…
