Please know that instead of using the free text search (the box at the top) you can add a scientific name filter (the "Add filters" link).

The new site in demo does a much better job asking "Did you mean
Elimia H. Adams & A. Adams, 1854 the genus?".

The new dataset and species searches use the solr DisMax query parser: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/The+DisMax+Query+Parser
This allows to submit google like queries with negations prefixed by a minus and required matches using a + prefix:

Maybe we can use that for occurrences too? It would be useful to exclude certain terms
