FTR, the URL given:

http://www.gramene.org/perl/ontology/search?query=Plant height&btn=Ontology+Search

is all on one line.  Note the space in "Plant height".  This actually
results in a search for "Plant", which you can imagine is extremely
generic.  Replacing the space with a plus sign thus: "Plant+height"
gives the expected results.
