Taxonomy Smart Search within a Survey

For any species list, you can search by scientific name, common name or species code. Read below to see how each platform sorts and organizes the results.

Taxonomy Search

1. In a new project, the species list will be blank. You must search in order to filter the list and pick a species. 
2. In an existing project, all project favorites will be at the top of the list sorted alphabetically by scientific name.
3. As you select additional taxonomy within a new survey, those choices will be popped to the top of the list in alphabetical sort order.
4. When you search, the characters matching the beginning of scientific names, common names, and symbols (in that order) will now appear first in the results. This ensures you find the most relevant items quickly.
5. Even if a term doesn't appear at the beginning of a name, it can still be found in the search results. These will be displayed after the exact matches.
6. Bonus: If you are using a multi-select taxonomy list, clearing the search field will pop all of your choices to the top.
