fair point, or bad explaining on my part...the page is a list of inventory,
sorted alphabetically by latin name for my customers..they have easy access
to an alphebetized index (in latin, whiich is the most common way for my
customers to search). The point of the search box would be, for example,
someone wanting to search by common name or part of a name if they can't
remember the proper name (or just don't know it).
