I've run into a problem searching for two different birds this morning. I'm thinking the problem may be caused by the apostrophe in the name. Just a guess because that is what they had in common.
The birds I searched for were Scott's Oriole and Cassin's Finch. When I type the name in the Common name field it brings back a results page with the suggestion
Did you mean: Common name: Scott’s Oriole?
Did you mean: Common name: Bullock's Oriole?
No results found!
when I click on the hyperlink it will not go to the bird's page
Both birds are in the database and you can get to them by just typing in Oriole or Finch and then selecting from all the returns.
Here is a screen shot from the Cassin's finch search... hope this makes sense, I found it hard to explain :-)
Search glitch?

The apostrophe that was entered when those birds were created is not a true apostrophe. It's a special character that was inserted.
Marilynbeth created that entry and she probably copied and pasted the bird's name from a file that contained an incorrect apostrophe. The bird (and any others like this) need to be edited by someone with the access to do so and change it to a real apostrophe.
I fixed them both ;o)
