Description: One our researchers in Norway discovered today that searching for occurrence data with a filter on State/Province returns zero records in the download file [1].

I tried to repeat the steps and noticed that the name of the State/Province in the autocomplete lookup list is given in lowercase (see attached screenshoot). The search in the portal works fine, but the data download returns zero records [2].

When I modify the query string for first letter uppercase, both portal search results [3] AND the data download works as expected [4].

PS: The same issue of lowercase lookup on State/Province is also in the new portal [5] (see also screenshoot).
