Let's go through the DwC Term Frequency and make sure the top 75% are all covered in search.  I know stateProvince is in there.
[OT: Protocol is also requested by iDigBio]

[~cgendreau] Can you please tell us the frequently used terms missing from search?  I know stateProvince is in there.

top 75% seems a bit high no? There is something like 180 terms provided to GBIF.

The top 5 of missing fields based on DwC term frequency would be :
-locality
-stateProvince
-county
-individualCount (?)
-vernacularName (?)

Not too far and/or requested in the past:
-coordinateUncertaintyInMeters
-license
-organismID
