[Feature Request]: Add taxon authors to search tools #422
Description
Symbiota Portal Name
Consortium of Lichen Herbaria
Is your feature/tool request related to a problem? Please describe.
Sometimes when I search a name, I am given the option of two or more identical taxa. Without an author attached to the taxon I can't decide which one to choose.
Describe the solution you'd like.
I would like to see taxon options include the author in the search field on the home page, on a given checklist page (both for search and add taxa fields), and in the Taxonomic Criteria section of Specimen Search and all pages with similar search fields.
Who else has expressed a desire for this feature/tool?
Frank Bungartz
When and how would this feature be used? What are some use cases?
I would anticipate this feature to be used frequently by researchers and other users of the portal when searching for a specific taxon.
