Description

Advanced search on Tab 'Advanced' for a taxon name returns all names relevant for a part of the search. E.g. search "Lactuca triquetra" returns returns all Lactuca taxa, not only Lactuca triquetra (and non existing children). As this field is called name search but not free/full text search this for me is unexpected behaviour.

Example taken from cichorieae database.

another example from the corvidae portal:

searching for "Garrulus americanus" across all classifications. I did expect one or two hits, but 58 are shown.

Here we are facing two problems:

  1. The portal does not allow to do a phrase search with a query string like "Garrulus americanus". The web service works correctly in this case: http://api.cybertaxonomy.org/corvidae/portal/taxon/search.json?pageSize=25&pageNumber=0&doTaxa=1&doSynonyms=1&doTaxaByCommonNames=1&query=%22Garrulus+americanus%22
  2. When using the phrase search it is not possible to use wildcards at the same time. As noted in a related stack overflow post Lucene 2.9 has ComplexPhraseQueryParser which can handle wildcards in phrases. In the cdmlib we are currently using 5.4.1. An alternative solution could be to use MultiPhraseQuery, but as its summary says, you still need to enumerate the IndexReader.terms yourself to match the wildcard. (also from above names stackoverflow post)

The ComplexPhraseQueryParser is still available in the our current lucene version, so we could give this one a try.
