Search scientific names differently from vernacular names #197

This modification will prevent searches from matching scientific searches to species epithets. Searching for "tigris" will continue to match "Tigrisoma fasciatum" but will no longer match "Panthera tigris". Vernacular search is unchanged: "tiger" will still match the "Flamed Tigersnail", "Big Sand Tiger Beetle" and "Tiger Orchid". Autocomplete searches remain unchanged; this is a change in the layer search only. This addresses the first issue raised by Walter here: https://basecamp.com/1756489/projects/1391223-new-datasets/messages/12549329-name-validation#comment_105472043

Hi Jeremy! Just wanted to check and see if this might be worth adding to Map of Life?
