Well, \bid\b should be enough, actually.  I don't understand why it
seems like the $s in $id$ in your latex buffer have word syntax.  I've
just tried both the stock latex-mode and AUCTeX and with both the $s
don't have word syntax.

Could you please put point on such a $ and report the output of M-x
describe-char RET?  I'm mostly interested in the line

  syntax: $ 	which means: math

which might be

  syntax: w 	which means: word

on your side for whatever reason.

Also, please try if regexp isearch works as expected, i.e., C-u C-s
\bid\b should also find the id in $id$.  If you both have $ in math
syntax and isearch works but consult doesn't, then I'd ask at the
consult community.
