This feature is designed to quickly find a SET of species using two or three characteristics. From this set you can quickly choose a LIKELY identification based upon the fit of all the characters known at this time.

Spicule measurements are matched within the given range or calculated range of 10%. Terms are matched as "contained in a string". Thus "red" would be found in "brick red", "orange-red", etc. Missing or unknown data is NOT included.
