Description
Similar to the Trefle service, a user-created species should include a scientific_name along with optional synonyms and common_names fields.
This enhancement becomes particularly beneficial in scenarios where a user modifies the Trefle species, such as changing the thumbnail.
For example, currently a new custom species for Helianthus annuus is generated when the user makes modifications. Consequently, when searching for sunflower, only the Trefle species is provided.
This limitation exists because users must search precisely for Helianthus annuus to find their custom species.
The inclusion of a common_names field for user-created species would alleviate this issue.
Solution
Add a field called common_names (or synonyms) to the species object and use this along the scientific_name when searching.
