What platform are you on? Works for me on Linux/RStudio (but I might be running old versions of some packages):
search_names('Simoselaps fasciolatus')
searchTerm name commonName rank
1 Simoselaps fasciolatus Simoselaps fasciolatus (Günther, 1872) Narrow-banded Shovel-nosed Snake, Narrow-banded Snake species

Aha, maybe it's a locale issue - under Windows I get:

OK, fixed, I think - subtleties around encoding when parsing JSON. I've tested on Linux and Windows, but if you have time to test before I merge this into master that would be great:
devtools::install_github("AtlasOfLivingAustralia/ALA4R",ref="encoding")
search_names("Simoselaps fasciolatus")$name ## uses POST under the hood
[1] "Simoselaps fasciolatus (Günther, 1872)"
species_info("Simoselaps fasciolatus")$taxonConcept$author ## uses GET under the hood
[1] "(Günther, 1872)"
Tested OK on both Linux and Windows, so assuming is OK (ALA4R v1.24)
Thanks @raymondben - works fine. Sorry for the slow reply. (And yes, I'm on Windows)
Just noticed that encoding seems wrong in some cases for the result of
search_names
.E.g. see the matched name of the following:
