when selecting a google search for a location in the channel islands the search appears to be truncated...
as
ISLANDS, JERSEY, NOIVMONT
rather than
CHANNEL ISLANDS, JERSEY, NOIVMONT

Thanks for reporting this. I've fixed this is the current development version, which is not live yet.
The reason this happened is that I was dropping the first word of two word region names - in general this meant losing a compass bearing e.g.
'West Cornwall' became 'Cornwall' - as I found this tended to give more useful search results. This had the side effect of somewhat problematic side-effect of rendering 'Channel Islands' as 'Islands'...
regards,
Tom |

The new version that corrects the Channel Islands search problem is now live.
(this release also fixes:
minor problems with latitude and longitude default values
problems with full country lists (hopefully resolves the issue reported here);
a minor issue with firefox 3
+ various other misc bugs) |
