Non-breaking spaces in BIE search queries greatly reduces search results #107

Closed timhicks-ala closed 6 months ago

timhicks-ala commented 10 months ago

Non-breaking space characters can become included in species names and other data from outside sources, and this can cause unexpected behaviour when taken to the ALA. When included in BIE searches, this greatly reduces the search results, eliminating for example partial matches for genus or common name results, in data resource names or support articles, etc).

Copy the following text for an example: Sagittaria platyphylla
