Description: Hi, on the home page I tried entering something in the search line.  I tried koala, I tried Australia and I tried Helicoverpa (that is a moth species).  it said that it could not find the page.  Presumably this is not the button for searching the data???

I qualify as a 'dumb user'
Cheers

Due to lack of time, for the first iteration it has been decided to do the content management search (only) from the home page, and then in the results it provides prominent links to data search.

We will monitor search terms when in use, and then refine the behavior based on observed user action.

It's not ideal, but should get us through the initial launch.

After the next UAT deploy, if this is still considered an issue, please reopen this.
