Just out of interest, why did you choose to extract only the continental
united states out of the entire worlds data that the project has?
What makes you think this is an extract? Did you try scrolling over to Europe?
Also the .com domain is only the latest one to be rolled out. These

I tried searching by my home address and it could not find it. When I tried

the TIGER database import, just as you say they should have done. So, why are
you complaining?
