Search quality: searching for mountain view doesn't show mountain view results until page 7

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Tested on footprintqa.

It appears that ongoing events aren't being pushed up if they are in the same 
city as the search.  

i.e. If you search for "mountain view, ca", you only start seeing mountain 
view results until page 7 (and all those events are ongoing).

view%2C%20ca&timeperiod=everything&cache=1

Another example:

If I search my house that is in los gatos, i see a few results in Los Gatos on 
the 
first page.

If I search for "los gatos, ca", I can't find any los gatos results!  I tried 
looking, but found now Los Gatos results past page 14!!  It might be past page 
14

http://footprint2009qa.appspot.com/search#num=10&start=131&vol_loc=los%20gatos%2
C%20c
a&timeperiod=everything&cache=1

Either way, we should be ranking closer results higher.  So we should see Los 
Gatos 
results on the first page.

put into readonly mode?)

ok, I have a fix which should improve this.

dense places:
NYC:
http://www.adamsah.net:8081/api/volopps?key=testkey&num=10&start=1&vol_loc=+ny+n
y&timeperiod=everything&cache=0
SF:
http://www.adamsah.net:8081/api/volopps?key=testkey&num=10&start=1&vol_loc=+sf+c
a&timeperiod=everything&cache=0

sparse places:
marsland,ne:
http://www.adamsah.net:8081/api/volopps?key=testkey&num=10&start=1&vol_loc=+mars
land+ne&timeperiod=everything&cache=0

zoomed in:
38 lyon, SF:
http://www.adamsah.net:8081/api/volopps?key=testkey&num=10&start=1&vol_loc=+38+l
yon+sf+ca&timeperiod=everything&cache=0

http://www.adamsah.net:8081/api/volopps?key=testkey&num=10&start=1&vol_loc=+38+l
yon+sf+ca&timeperiod=everything&cache=0

for latency reasons, I only backfill once, e.g. won't work for a zoomed in 
address in
a sparse area.

This fix still doesn't help my Los Gatos Example (but it did with Mountain View:

Los Gatos - 
http://footprint2009qa.appspot.com/search#num=10&start=61&vol_loc=mountain%20
view%2C%20ca&timeperiod=everything&cache=1

They are recurring events that aren't showing up for many pages.
