tiwane:
Definitely something we’re thinking about and that I hope we can implement.
bignonia:
I’m also hoping it could be used by teachers…I’m a science teacher, and I’m trying to give the world-language teachers a way to use iNat. If they could search for observations with comments from a specific country, then it would be more likely to find comments for students to translate. If that makes sense.
I believe this is slightly different than the scenario that @mettehhh described in that you don’t want to search for comments made on your own observations, or as part of observations you were following, but just comments in general?
@tiwane your answer to @bignonia was long time ago but I think it is pretty related to some comments in this other thread about api full text searching for any words (i.e. usernames and also language-specific words ) contained in general comments and identifications (not related to any specific observation/user/project).
As observation’s search parameters use to be similar in api and web interfaces, I think both requests are pretty related and people reading here might also be interested in those comments.
