Sorry, I'm with Maarten on this: it's a programming error.
I've tried searching on plenty of common stores and businesses that the
average user here in the US might -- Dunkin' Donuts, Kohl's, PetSmart,
Lowe's, Dollar Tree, Sports Authority, Red Roof Inn -- and the matching
location that is ACTUALLY ON THE MAP in front of me is almost never
shown in the first page of hits, let alone on the top of the list.
I'm well aware that OSM is more than a map, but the fact remains that
when I tell people "Hey, you should check out OpenStreetMap", the first
thing they see is the main map page. And if its searching facility is
braindead, I feel we're doing ourselves a disservice.
