ensure that dropdown for taxon names includes the exact match first #83

I had not paid a lot of attention to the drop down list when making a query and there may be an explanation for what I see, but it seems that some of the items in the drop down list have almost no resemblance to what is being typed in, and the drop down list is not being reduced to only include the sequence being typed. I guess some of that is due to fuzzy matching. Was just curious as to the rationale of what is included in that list. And it appears that the drop down list contains species in GloBI as well, as I just checked one item and it was a tree from the NE US. Is it possible and or easy to include only species from GoMexSI in the drop down list??

Please be specific about what term you entered, what results you would expect and what the actual results are.

Also, it might help to add that the fuzzy matching is performed against all common names (all available languages) and across all higher order ranks.

Changed title, new expected behavior:

When typing "Sc", first all names starting with Sc will show, then fuzzy matches follow.
