For email alerts, I want to see all C-17 traffic in my local area. The problem is the ICAO code for C-17 is C17. This gets me the C-17s that I want to se, but also gives me all the C-172s. Can I get a feature that gives me the exact ICAO airplane type and not all C17* aircraft in email alerts?
This is a sticky topic.

Something else. I completely realise that acceding to all these requests could create a huge amount of options. Why not create a god mode for feeders/subscribers as in W10/11 which would allow those who are interested to play around with all these settings until their hearts are content.

It would be nice if one could temporarily disable/mute certain alerts without having to completely delete them. My particular use case is the following: I am a skydiver and use an alert in order to monitor our skydiving plane on days with mixed weather conditions. If I get an alert that the plane has taken off I know the weather is good enough and it's worth driving to the dropzone. Obviously, the alerts are only useful to me when I intend to jump and when I am not already at the dropzone. What I do now is I always create the alert when I need it and delete it afterwards. It would be nice to be able to keep the alert and have a checkbox which allows me to disable/mute it while I do not need it. I think this feature would be useful for plane spotters as well since spotting is not always possible (e.g., during work or at night).

Just use the "enable filter : on/off" setting. No need to delete anything if that's your only use case.

Something that I as a contributor for several years would like to see, is to implement an image to see on a screen the aircraft that captures your receiver something like entering your IP address and see what you see on the website, but without the need to enter the pc directly, at least in my case all the images of my receivers are with piaware, flightaware now has an image with screen for users who do not have their own receiver.

If I type in C17 as an aircraft filter, it will include any aircraft that start with c17, like a c172.
There should be a way to specify that a filter has to be an exact match, it shouldn't always include wildcards.
You could borrow a feature from search engines, and if it's surrounded /w quotes, it's a literal value, ex: "c17" would only match c17, and not c172.
