Allow search by Airbnb listing ID

Problem / context

Operators working directly in their Airbnb accounts identify units by Airbnb listing ID rather than by internal unit codes. When they need to look a unit up in Sparrow, they copy the listing ID out of the Airbnb URL, but Sparrow search only accepts the internal identifier. The workaround is to go into the PMS, search by listing ID, find the corresponding unit, then search Sparrow. That is an extra step every time, in both directions.

Requested capability

Let users search by Airbnb listing ID in addition to the existing internal identifier.

Detail / spec

  • Search accepts an Airbnb listing ID and resolves to the corresponding property.
  • The Airbnb listing/user ID is already surfaced on the Listing Quality page, so the data is present in-system.
  • Either identifier works in the same search field.

Acceptance criteria

  • Pasting an Airbnb listing ID into search returns the correct property.
  • Existing search by internal unit ID continues to work.
