Field to search when Name-123 is known

I feel like I should know this, but haven't figured it out or seen it. If I know the Name-# of a particular person, is there a way to just plug it into a field and go to the profile. Digging through a list of names and dates is a pain!

The only place I can find for searching for an Id searches only your watchlist. Generally not useful.
It seems I’ve found it in the past ... but where?

Geogre, See the answer given by Kay.
The other day I made a comment that I find WikiTree counterintuitive, this is even more so. Why isn’t there a simple search field for this?
I normally use an iPad. The field for the url at the top of the screen simply has “WikiTree.com” so there is little to suggest making a change there will take me to another profile.
I would love to see a field for this too, but since there isn't one and you are using an ipad try tapping on the url box. That reveals the full text of the url which you can then edit.
