Hi guys,
I have two issues concerning taxon names. I will start with, probably, the easier issue.
(1) We create the name matching index using a merged list from CoL and a list of Brazilian species. But these names aren't used in the autocomplete of searching page. We saw the call of AJAX and it's calling a service from BIE ( http://bie.ala.org.au/search/auto.json?callback=jQuery183029955692077055573_...). The autocomplete feature can be changed to call the names from Lucene name matching index?
(2) When we ingest a dataset, the process try to match the names using some techniques of fuzzy matching, is it right? But, for some names, this not occured. For example, the name "Apis melifera" is matched with "Apis (Apis) mellifera" (it an example that works well), but the name "Chrysocyon brachycrus" should match with "Chrysocyon brachyurus", and it not happen. Why the fuzzy matching is applied to some names and don't aplied to other names?
