Feedback: Unexpected results for UCSF medical center POI searches #256

Open rmglennon opened 8 years ago

rmglennon commented 8 years ago

Found this in Eraser Map when trying to navigate to the UCSF (University of California, San Francisco) medical center and dermatology offices at the Mt Zion campus. San Francisco is my current location.

ucsf mt zion --> no results found, until I tap enter to perform the search (vs autocomplete). Then, UCSF Mount Zion Campus is the top hit, and UCSF Medical Center at Mount Zion is number 3. It looks like the Mt --> Mount is an issue.

ucsf dermatology --> no results found, but when I tap enter, I end up at Dermatology, Chermside, Australia. I would expect that the point is hard to find because I didn't see it in OSM, but I wouldn't expect to end up in Australia, given that there are plenty of "dermatology" hits closer and I'd weight UCSF more important.

This looks like it's still happening

ucsf mt zion

autocomplete (no results) search (comes in #2, results 3 onward are localities all over the country)

ucsf mount zion

autocomplete (only 2 results, expected result is 2nd) search (same as ucsf mt zion search)

ucsf dermatology

autocomplete (no results) search (only locality results all over the world :( )

It looks like we don't have proper synonyms for Mount/Mt, this should be addressed by https://github.com/pelias/schema/pull/350
