Common name search #25

Autocomplete should be able to handle common name searches. This requires changes to both Navigator and the data service.

Then I recommend dropping this. We don't have to search by common name and have many other bigger fish to fry. Let's have a general warning if whatever someone is trying to search for doesn't have a match in the database. Suggested text is below:

You are attempting to filter with a term that is not in the Paleobiology Database. Please use scientific names instead of common names of taxa.

It's not difficult though. Pretty much a one-line fix in the data service and another in the Javascript. Again, though, it's for next release so let's just consider it low priority.
