Add a fuzzy/exact toggle option to search field forms

[doricon]

The search pop-up for references and people (and I would assume other things too) is case-specific. So if a user doesn't use the correct capitalization in the search, they will not return the results. Can we make it not-case-specific?

This is just a minor thing, no emergency, but we should try to change it as some point because it will trip people up if they don't know the entered capitalization (like in a title) or are just lazy and don't capitalize names in searches (I'm guilty as charged!).

I proposed a solution where we could toggle between exact and fuzzy search, but @doricon pointed out it may just be fine to always have it be fuzzy.

It will be very helpful to have specimens be a fuzzy search. We will probably have more specimens in the database than any other node type, which makes dropdown menus not feasible. And specimen names are often non-intuitive strings of letters and numbers, prone to typos and users not wanting to type in the whole thing.

Okay, we will do just fuzzy.
