[Feature Request]: Add taxon authors to search tools

Open GBPerlmutter opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Symbiota Portal Name

Consortium of Lichen Herbaria

Is your feature/tool request related to a problem? Please describe.

Sometimes when I search a name, I am given the option of two or more identical taxa. Without an author attached to the taxon I can't decide which one to choose.

Describe the solution you'd like.

I would like to see taxon options include the author in the search field on the home page, on a given checklist page (both for search and add taxa fields), and in the Taxonomic Criteria section of Specimen Search and all pages with similar search fields.

Who else has expressed a desire for this feature/tool?

Frank Bungartz

When and how would this feature be used? What are some use cases?

I would anticipate this feature to be used frequently by researchers and other users of the portal when searching for a specific taxon.
