Add Search by RE ID
I know a couple of other ideas have already mentioned to add this type of functionality...I just wanted to list it separately and to have it very visible for others to see. Many times when communicating with colleagues, it is easier to give the RE ID vs the name. Was actually a bit surprised to find out we couldn't search by RE ID (have only been on NXT for a few days).

This is a part of the larger search story that we need to work on. Lots of good comments on search so far in ideas. We're gathering all of it. Thank you! I'll mark this one as under consideration, because it is. :)

Hallelujah! It works!!! Thank you, Blackbaud!
Just a sneak peek for those of you contributing to and watching this idea. You can effectively search for Constituents by Constituent ID today! We are still working on the UI indication that a particular search result matched on Constituent ID. Once we release that piece I will mark this as "Shipped" and it will be advertised in the "What's New" section of RE NXT. But in the meantime, I wanted to let you all know that it is possible in case that saves at least one of you some time.
PLEASE! SOON!
It would be optimal to search by address, phone number, and email as well.
Please, please, please!
And if adding this as a search field isn't coming soon, could the Constituent ID please be moved up to the top of the record, rather than buried in the Constituent Information tile? Then when I need to go to that record in RE:7, I can easily grab the ConstID and find it in RE:7.
Would also be great to have the ConstID visible in the title bar of the browser window...in RE:7, we use a specific salutation for that title bar, and I know that's not possible in RE:NXT (yet, I hope!), but having the ConstID there would be helpful.
