Description of problem:
Step 1: I go to explore on the iNat website, it automatically shows me search results from Switzerland.
Step 2: I click the X at the side of the region name and it shows me results from the whole world.
Step 3: Now i use the search field where i can enter taxon and region, i just enter “Schweiz” or “Switzerland” and then the selected region from where i get search results is “Schweizerischer Nationalpark”. Unlike the country Switzerland the national park of Switzerland is just a limited subset. some how on the site “Switzerland” defaults to this national park. I am sure in 99.9% the users who type Switzerland want to see Switzerland and not a national park. When i enter “Schweiz” in the search filters, then it shows me “Switzerland (country), just as expected on the normal site.
