Description of problem:
Step 1: Search for “Solidago rig-” for the locally common species Solidago rigida and Solidago rigidiuscula
Step 2: Results provide Solidago rugosa first because it has a synonym “Solidago rigidula”
It’s goldenrod ID season in North America, so I figured it’s the most appropriate time to ask for this again. Is there some way to ensure that current scientific names can be prioritized over synonyms in Search? I use synonyms/previous names all the time, so I understand their value, but in this case, the primary taxon name seems like it should be top priority.
edit: Apologies if this should be in feature request instead of Bug Report. It doesn’t seem to be the website functioning as intended, so I went with Bug Report
