Search by synonyms

Search by taxon now uses synonyms from 2 data sources: NCBI and GnpIS. Any search term matching a known taxon name also searches its synonyms. Matching synonyms are highlighted in the results to inform the user of the process.

Display date of last data update

Make the data loading process smoothier and display the date of the last data update in the web interface.

Long term perspectives

Allow search for exact phrases

Allow searching group of terms linked together, ie. "fusarium head blight". Currently, any of the 3 terms are searched independently, resulting in a lot of false positives.
