See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=791066#c15

This would require somebody understanding that code first though.
Comment 1 Giovanni Campagna 2017-12-05 17:51:40 UTC 
The current code does, or wants to do:

(name is the name of the location, key is what the user typed)
- split name on ","
- split key on spaces
- for each split in name:
  - split on spaces
  - match each word of key with a word of name (skipping some words of name if needed)
  - the last word of the match can be a prefix instead of a full match

Essentially this boils down to search by state, country (after the ",") or city name, but you cannot straddle across "," or flip words.
