Is there any way currently to load up the search boxes from URL parameters so I can bookmark a search I want to perform each day without filling in the boxes each time?

For example:
tbg.airframes.io/search/dashboard/search?msg=whatever&or=whatever&and=whatever

Would be useful. Obviously would need to cope with escaped chars such as spaces and slashes. You could provide a link for such a bookmark URL from the most recent search performed to save an inexperienced user trying to construct one manually.

Interesting idea, but no. To my knowledge Node-RED does not support any URL stuffing like that.
Having just typed that, I wonder if the new dashboard 2.0 that I am using this go-around supports it. I will ask in their forums....

I removed the auto clear this update as it was, to your point, more annoying for people to have to put in 2-4 search options after every single search.

A real programmer just helped me out....
He helped me add wildcard (*) search to the ICAO, Rego, Type and Source text fields on the site search page.
This is a really big deal.
With this, I feel the site search is done, the search is now more powerful now than I can use (which is not saying much, but you get my point I hope).

I just need to clean up the "you searched..." section.
Working on that today. (Its important as the ADSC ICAO and Iridium Rego are not in the ADSB community database we all use).

Just so you know, this isn't entirely correct. After a search if I leave the browser tab open with the results showing and with the intention of repeating the same search an hour later I sometimes return to find your page has wiped out the contents of the search boxes forcing me to re-enter everything. Doesn't wipe them straight away, but after a period.

Edit: discovered what appears to be happening. Despite the search results page not being "live", and the results essentially static at that point, your page (or Node Red ?) appears to be attempting to maintain some kind of live connection. If there's any interruption to that (router reboot, router retraining, momentary WiFi or ISP routing glitch, etc.) then your page pops up a "Connection lost" message and when it comes back it wipes the search boxes out. Not a problem for me as I've coded around it with search presets anyway, but thought I'd mention it just in case you feel like addressing it for others.

I wrote a long reply and then deleted it.

Thanks for the feedback.

Is anyone else finding the acars search isn't currently working? Hopefully a temp glitch or just a reboot needed.
Last search result more than 30 hours ago now at 2024-12-07 02:25:32.

Not just you, I'm finding the same.

Please don't forget that airframes.io has 3 months of ACARS in the search.
