CanadaJay Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 It would be helpful, in my opinion, to be able to find the BBO IDs of specific individuals (e.g., specific World Class players members may wish to follow) by entering their names. Including a feature to search by ID/name would help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerardo Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 Search looks into the Real name GIVEN to BBO. (Edit: People -> Search) There is no guarantee the World Class player(s) you are looking for had attached their real name to their BBO ID. (It should be there if they asked for a star, however this is optative). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 carbon Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Why not an available "Advanced Search" with fields for ID: _____________________ Real Name: _____________________ Country/Region: _____________________ Other: _____________________Notes by me: _____________________ Skill level: Private/Novice/Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced/Expert/World ClassPrime Yes/No Friend/Ignored/NeutralCompatibility: 1 2 3 4 5 (tho this seems to have been abandoned by BBO)Personal Convention Cards: _____________________ - CC Partner: _____________________ BBO could even support regular expressions Does BBO use Soundex for rough matches? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daitch%E2%80%93Mokotoff_Soundex Ideally, BBI could add fields for languages, too.
