Description: If a user goes into http://staging.gbif.org:8080/portal/species/?url=species and sees the section where it says *"common names in ###* hyperlinked, if he/she clicks on it, he/she will be taken to a page where basically everything is searched on the nub dataset.
From a user perspective this is not very helpful. As we don't really have a way to do a search of this type (correct me if I am wrong), I would suggest either removing the hyperlink or doing an example search (e.g. http://staging.gbif.org:8080/portal/species/search?q=Black+Squirrel+Monkey)
something similar, like we do in the current data portal data.gbif.org on the *"Explore Species"* section that we hardwire *Puma concolor*]]>

You can surely search common names, but similar to the other links they basically take you to all nub names. The example search sounds useful, maybe we should add that.
Or we first wait and see what users respond. No idea, Im slightly in favor of adding an example search like you suggest. Anyone else cares?
