You will get suggestions as you type in your query, they tell you what your query will return, and you can select one for an exact match.
The query is not case sensitive.
This search uses an automatic wild card at the end of the query to match all endings (unless the query is in double quotes).
The query is an ordered set of search terms, so viola l. will match "Viola L." and "Viola L. sect Viola."
Putting double quotes around your entire query will cause it to be matched exactly (except case). e.g. "Viola L." will match just Viola L.
You can use a % as a wild card inside the search query e.g. hakea elon% be or "hakea % var. elon% benth." to find "Hakea ceratophylla var. elongata Benth."

Comment: Mueller cites the place of publication of this name as "F. v. Mueller, fragmenta phytographiae Australiae iii. 89 (1862)", constituting an indirect reference to the replaced synonym. While F.J.H. von Mueller, Fragm. 3: 89 (1862), indicates the combination via a note that Calandrinia pygmaeum should be placed in Claytonia he does not definitely associate the genus name with the specific epithet as required by ICN Art. 35.2 (Shenzhen Code, 2018).
Comment: nom. illeg., nom. superfl. as Calandrinia pygmaea F.Muell. is itself an illegitimate replacement name for Talinum nanum Nees. The epithet nana was available in Claytonia in 1879 and thus ought to have been adopted by Mueller (ICN Art. 11.4 (Shenzhen Code, 2018)).
