        <content>When I search for Richmond California, I get a list of Canadian restaurants
http://search.chow.com/search?query=+&amp;location=richmond%2C+ca&amp;advanced=1&amp;type=Restaurant&amp;sort_mode=best_match

When I just put Richmond in the address box I get restaurants in Richmond, VA
http://search.chow.com/search?query=&amp;location=richmond&amp;type=Restaurant&amp;board_ids=1&amp;advanced=1&amp;sort_mode=best_match

In both cases I got to search through the drop down box and selecting San Francisco Bay Area</content>

      <content>Ok, but shouldn't that be fixed? Shouldn't the search be on city then  state/province/whatever then country? Rather than City then country then state/etc

I don't know how many names the US and Canada share, but I know there is an Ontario, CA near me. Of course searching on that pulls up places in Ontario, Canada 

While it is unlikely other than Canada, other states that share 2 letter abbreviations with countries share cities, or cities that would be in the restaurant databas ... such as SD - South Dakota or Sudan ... there might be a few ...aren't there a lot of Germans in Delaware which shares DE with Germany. There must be one or two city names both countries share

And who knows what other country provinces cross over with another country abbreviation. 

Anyway, shouldn't this have a ticket no matter how low priority. </content>
