I'm really not stupid, I have a high IQ. But plant names and classifications just confussle me!

Dave, are you saying that the search engine should only search a legal genus name? e.g. A search for "coneflower" brings up 9 pages of hits, mostly echinacea but also other plants with that common name, like ratabida. OK. But coneflower is not a legal genus name, it's a common name. So why does it search common name coneflower but not common mane coleus?

I'm really not this dumb... am I?
