Rank search is broken?

[fedarko]

When searching by exact rank, if you give it an entire rank name (including taxonomy, confidence, and sequence) it'll highlight everything (or almost everything).

Text search seems to be working though.

Figure out how to fix this and fix it. Add a test case for it also.

also i think rank search breaks if you just search for nothing. fix that also #2

I think I've sorta figured it out. rrv interprets full rank text as a list of ranks, and since that list includes like "bacteria" everything gets tagged as that. If you reduce the ID to just its sequence, nothing comes up in the ranks search and the one corresponding rank only comes up in the text search -- as expected.

There's a problem here, though, and that's actually that some ranks (...it looks like exactly three?) aren't being identified here. I think this is another manifestation of the #7 bug, somehow??? Is it somehow filtering out actual taxa because it thinks they're metadata?? I gotta fix this and add tests to ensure it doesn't regress.

It looks like the reason some things were getting dropped is because the only level of taxonomy identified for them was k__Bacteria, so they weren't separated by a semicolon. TODO: making the vertical pipe thingy | work as a separator should fix this particular aspect of this problem.

Man, and it's a really ugly coincidence that this affected exactly?-ish three taxa -- that totally led me to think that this was another problem with the searching functionality start point issues.
