Was of "two minds" whether to post this as a help desk topic or in "the forum". Take it more as an observation/ my experience, than any specific idea/ suggestion/ problem, but I often feel frustrated with the whole online search system, even after a year of introduction, has much to improve.

As a test I type "glen lusk" which is a nearby locality. In the screen cap below "Glen lusk" is actually 1/2 a world away in Ireland, although the results didn't make that clear. By mistake I tap the result, and Locus crashes, although after repeated further tests I can't reproduce it.

But my point is, the result when tapped (without crash) is a place called "lusk", not "glen lusk", so not a very good match anyway. The 2nd row of above screen cap list of previous results displays "glen lusk" instead of "lusk"

When I type the name again, there are no appropriate matches in the list at all, not "glen lusk" or even "Lusk , Ireland" and as often the case what results there are, are 10,000+km away too
