Searching by Book Display ID inside Chats allows you to find a specific conversation directly. Since every chat in Pasaj is created based on a book swap proposal, each conversation is connected to a unique Book Display ID.
This ensures you can locate the exact chat without scrolling through all Active or History conversations. It is especially useful when you are managing multiple swap books nearby and want to jump directly to a specific book exchange discussion.
What Is a Book Display ID?
A Book Display ID is a unique public identifier automatically assigned to every book listed in Pasaj.
It is designed to:
- Identify a specific book listing
- Avoid confusion between similar titles
- Enable direct and precise search
- Connect proposals and chats to the exact book
Because chats are created only after a proposal is accepted, each chat is directly tied to a specific Book Display ID.

- You have multiple active swap discussions.
