This anonymous user mistook the search on the home page for a global search of species/country/dataset like there was on the old portal.
Of course we still need to implement a global search, PF-442.
To avoid confusion in the short-term, I would recommend that we add to the "Your search yielded no results" page, saying something like:
-If you were searching for species information, you should try the species search [link].
-If you were searching for dataset information, you should try the dataset search [link].
-If you were searching for country information, you should try the country search [link].
-If you were searching for occurrence records, you should try the occurrence search [link].

Comment: In fact we have pretty much this list in the right hand column under 'more search options' but we can review this and come up with better short-term solutions if we are aware of repeated complaints along these lines.

Comment: The right hand is great, it might just be overlooked be hasty users. Maybe we should add a single line that reminds the user to look at the right side for further search links? And maybe remove the last OR phrase - is that really implemented and what is the difference to just typing 2 space separated words?

So here's a decision. [~cvizitiu@gbif.org], please amend the main text as follows under the heading 'Your search yielded no results'
Add as first bullet: If you are searching for species, datasets or data publishers, see options to the right of this page.

Bullet added as per request can be seen on staging.gbif.org; doesn't look that good IMHO, suggest we change the text to:
____________________
If you are searching for species, datasets or data publishers, first see options to the right of this page.
Additionally
Check if your spelling is correct.
Remove quotes around phrases...

Comment: I like the phrasing as it is. I don't like the bullet points though.
