I haven’t used annotations to search for observations. Should people be allowed to enter multiple annotation term_id or should people only enter in one term_id?
I built the site to allow multiple term_id and term_value_id.
@wy_bio thank you for being one of the extraordinarily talented iNatters who has so generously and capably created something magic out of code. Your site is waaaaaaaay faster than iNat!
Thank you 
and I wish you a splendid day

- Add the ability to search by annotators.
In this example, I filtered observations where aguilita created the observation, added annotations, and added identifications.
- View the annotations on the observations grid view. In this example I want all observations in San Francisco in 2024 with annotations ‘Fruits or Seeds’, ‘Flower Buds’, ‘Breaking Leaf Buds’, or ‘Green Leaves’
- The Media view shows the annotations on the first photo/audio for each observation.

Added more filters
-
Added information about each filter which users can access by hovering over the question mark
-
Add more info to each observations on the observations view.
Is this too much information?
Each observation has
- photo
- taxon names
- number of photos/sounds
- observer photo
- quality status
- identifications count (999)
- disagreement count (41)
- comments count (1168)
- favorites count (626)
- observed date
- added date
- update date
- list of annotations

Thank you very very much for this superior INat observation explorer! Finally I can see all my pictures of a given taxa at once! <3 It would be nice if there was an option to increase the number of images shown to 200 or so :-)
I just wanted to say thank you for this amazing tool !
I like the media view so much (pity that this is not working on the regular iNat website). As streepvaren, I would also appreciate being able to show more pictures at once (e.g., 200). It would also be nice to have a way to hide the map. It took me some time to see that the images were visible below the map (on my relatively small laptop screen)

Thanks for the feedback.
New features
- put the map, grid, media, and table on separate tabs as suggested by @gillessanmartin
- allow people to select the number of records shown as suggested by @streepvaren and @gillessanmartin. People can select 24, 48, 96, or 192 records. Click the gear icon > Settings > Records per Page
- On the identifications page, display identifications by grid (show one identification per observation) or history (show all identifications per observations)
-
Add the ability to exclude species, places, projects and users when search for observations
-
Draw a rectangle to select observations within the rectangle
-
add a download link so people can use the iNaturalist Export Observations page to down the observations selected on my site.

For people who frequently make identifications, is the ability search for identifications and see the number of identifications useful?
For example here are the bird observations identified by alanhorstmann

- People can use the search queries generated on my site for the iNaturalist Explore, Identify, and Export page by clicking on the links in iNaturalist Links menu. My site gets the data from the iNaturalist API. Most, but not all, of the queries that work on the API should work on the iNaturalist pages.
- As suggested by @ keirmorse, view taxa below species (species, variety, etc) on the Species view.
Click “Filters” button, “Species” tab, “Rank” > “Rank” > select desired ranks. Users can select multiple ranks.
- As suggested by @jeanphilippeb The observations count on the Species tiles now link to the iNaturalist observation page using the queries generated on my site.

Thanks a lot!
Why do I get only 1 page?
How to get all the other tiles covering all these 2364 observations?
You are on the species view. Click 2364 observations to see the observations. On the observations view, there are options for map, grid - see one photo per observation, media - see all photos and sounds, and table.

OK, I see. So, no view showing all taxa as tiles, each tile with a link to all observations identified as this taxon and identified at this rank. (Like the “Species” view, but not restricted to species).
