Species correction not finding superseded records #1390

Using the species correction tool, you cannot search for a species that is superseded to correct it's records, but if you search for its current name the search does not return the superseded records. Therefor there is no way to correct observations recorded under an old name.

the scenario that just happened in prod:

  1. in PGAdmin I searched for:
    select * from nrmn.ep_m3_isq where
    species_name = 'Ballia sp. [fine red]'

which returned 28 records - 5 where recroded species name was the current 'Ballia sp. [fine red]' and 23 records where the recorded species name was old: 'Ballia (fine red)'.

  1. I wanted to correct all of these records using the species correction tool. searching for species 'Ballia sp. [fine red]', it only finds 5 of them. I corrected these (so the above search will not return them now FYI). I then went to search for 'Ballia (fine red)' to correct the other 23 records - but the UI prevents me from searching superseded names.
