RecordedGeocodingFixed

Geocoding ranks what you named, forgives a typo, and answers three letters

A benchmark against the production corpus found the cases where a plausible row outranked the one the caller typed, and a day of query-side fixes closed most of them. Château Frontenac returns the château, Rogers Place returns the arena, Calgery returns Calgary.

  • A row whose whole name you typed always reaches the candidate pool, so a locality can no longer outrank the thing inside it
  • A trailing province or country is a bias, not a token, and a province named exactly beats a locality of the same name
  • An empty search is retried with one-character-edit matching; a search with a bbox is never fuzzed
