Over the last few months I’ve noticed increasingly weird suggestions when I type in a taxon name for an ID. I’m not sure if this is a bug, a purposeful change in behavior, or just the result of names changing. For context, I have my name preference set to scientific name first, then common name, and my language is set to English.
I usually type in a shortened name for a species to save time, but a lot of the time the first result will instead be a completely different taxon with a common name that matches my input, such as:
Here the first result doesn’t even match what I typed in at all (edit: sorry it does, I misread, but see the rest), and the second result result only matches through a synonym, with the first result that could best match my input being the third result:
Here’s another example showing how many results don’t match what I typed in (at least not as a current name; I don’t know who is trying to find “insects” by typing in “podo”):
Is there some setting I can change to make it only show me current scientific name matches, or at least prioritize them?
