Description
If a person has an IRI for something they know is in a Prez instance but it doesn't redirect to that instance - perhaps it's the IRI of a class in a W3C ontology or a Feature in an external dataset - then how to they get this Prez' instance's home page for that object?
Technical people will go to https://.../object?iri={THE-IRI} but non-technicals might now know how to do this. Also, what if they have copied the IRI and it has a linebreak or something else it in?
PrezUI now has Search by text and map.
I would like to see a really simple option which is "Find by ID" which is just an option to put an IRI in to a form, click "Find" and all it does is load https://.../object?iri={THE-IRI}. The only other thing this form should do, other than forward to that /object web page is to validate the IRI before forwarding so it can tell the user if it's not a valid IRI before trying to redirect, like "oops, the IRI you entered contains a space and is not valid". Then the user can fix it and try again.
