Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.):
Step 1: Add a common name with vowels (nikud). Like in גּוּשָׁנִית מַשְׁחִימָה Leccinum lepidum
Step 2: Test search with vowels like the second url - successfully finds the taxon. גּוּשָׁנִית מַשְׁחִימָה
https://www.inaturalist.org/search?q=גּוּשָׁנִית%20מַשְׁחִימָה
Step 3: Test search without vowels like the first url - fails to find the taxon. גושנית משחימה
