First of all, thanks for this. It's exactly what I needed!

Oddly, I noticed that I can't find New Delhi or New Delhi, IN or any variation I can think of when I search by exact match. Thoughts?

That's strange. Usually there will be matches coming back even if less accurate. I wanted to re-address the matching algorithm to be more exact and return even less results because of places with the same name. This is kinda the opposite problem where you're not even getting broader matches.

It's been a good long while since I looked at this project sadly. I don't know when I'll have time to look at it more...Though I always loved the idea of a tool like this. I really do want to make the matching better and reduce the memory used by the tool. There's a few things on my list. I just wish I had more time, sorry.

Totally feel free to investigate and submit pull requests if you're feeling adventurous.
