Just pushed code for better 'no search results' (item 2) and browser history support (item 5): https://github.com/andrewxhill/MOL/commit/7c1278c701857e7bcd82a432b009776eb48db4b3

Changing issue label to Status-Started.

I just pushed code that adds a checkbox to the search UI (item 8) for returning only species wit a range map. It's deployed to the prototype:

http://prototype.mol-lab.appspot.com/search

So like we talked about in our Friday meeting we probably don't want to spend too much more time refining the prototype since we haven't formally started thinking about our approach to UI stuff. Do we think the prototype is currently "good enough"?

Just pushed code for the new UI architecture. You can choose the number of results per page by changing the limit URL parameter. Crossing item 7 off the list of search improvements above. You can test it here:
