Summary: Checking "United States" in the results gives an error message.
Description: I ran a search with scientific name "Castor" as the only filter.  On the results page that came up, I clicked the box that said "United States" and ran another search.  Then I got an error message.  The same thing happened when I searched for Myotis lucifugus.

taxon_key should be a key, not a name.
The query should be something like:
http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?taxon_key=3240758&country=US

or using free text search:
http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?q=castor&country=US

It's a UI issue, I could reproduce it on the old portal but not on the new portal (demo.gbif.org).
