Describe the bug:
We have some persons and firms records with the same names, and there is no way to differentiate them in the drop-down lists in title records. Being able to search by “ID number” in those fields in a title record would resolve this.
To reproduce:
Click “Explore” from the top menu, then click “Titles”
Click “Add Title”
In the “Contributor” field type “Smith”. Note that two Mary Smith records appear (ID 3604, ID 2115 - I double-checked and they’re definitely different people) with no way to differentiate them. Further examples of different people with the same name in the database:
Elizabeth Baldwin, IDs 3298 and 4256
Mary Saunders, IDs 3584 and 2091
Sarah Osborn, IDs 2445 and 2418
In the “Firms” field type “T. Smith”. Note that two appear - they’re located in different locations, but there’s no way to differentiate which is which in the drop-down menu.
Expected results:
To be able to type the ID number for a specific person or firm in the “Contributor” or “Firms” fields and have that specific person or firm come up.
