Ways to address issue when there is no "pretty sure of" suggested taxon

Copying from another discussion to give direct feedback.

The new app fails to address the issue with autosuggest when there is no “pretty sure of” suggestion - the new interface design makes it even more likely that users will pick a random option from the dropdown than the previous design or browser…as to choose a broader coarser level you have to go to a separate screen via the magnifying glass. It would be better to retain the species look up as on the previous app.

But even better would be if there were core iconic taxa buttons to choose from…or ideally, the broader most likely taxon based on the autosuggests ( in this case, Aves )

I see this is actually already well-discussed here :
