Searching "Turkey" or "Türkiye" as location resaults in showing observations from "Türkiye Kazakistan Dostluk Parkı"

Platform: Website

Browser, if a website issue: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Opera GX

URLs (aka web addresses) of any relevant observations or pages: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=216667&subview=map

Screenshots of what you are seeing:

Description of problem:

Step 1: Go to https://www.inaturalist.org/observations

Step 2: Search “Turkey” or “Türkiye” in the location searchbox.

Step 3: Instead of the entire country, it selects a park in Ankara called “Türkiye Kazakistan Dostluk Parkı”.

However, this bug doesn’t occur in the Identify tab.
This wasn’t happening before.
Resaults are same in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Opera GX.
I didn’t try testing it in Firefox.

This does not occur for me. My language in iNaturalist is Czech.

I did some identifications. Typing Turkey gave me a rectangle including bits of neighbouring countries as well. It seems to be the case of missing information.

Can’t you just select the place called “Turkey”?

Here’s a video of it.

That is normal, in the observations list you get a rectangle, in the identification window you get more accurate borders.

For more accurate country borders you go to Filter and then Place.

I tried it on other devices too(phone, another laptop, school’s smartboard) and I still got the bug. I tried in Turkish and English languages.

Thanks! Bug still occurs when I try the search box on top but trying place filter worked.

However, this bug doesn’t occur in the Identify tab.

Looks like filters section and identify tab use the same system but top search bar in explore page is different.

Bug occurs here:

This problem wasn’t happening a month ago.

this is just another example of a well-known issue. using Filters > More Filters > Place is the appropriate solution for now. here’s some more relevant discussion here: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/searching-for-observations-in-a-city-returns-observations-for-a-specific-land-feature-within-the-city/43676/38.

A shorter way is to use the search box on the left and click on ‘observations’
