Automatic Local Search Misleads Shoppers

We sell yakima rack products.

When you do a froogle product search for say; Yakima Lowriders, you are
automatically taken to the Local Shopping area to search for lowriders
in Yakima Washington - where you are told there are no products
matching your query.

There is a button on the Local Shopping page that forces a search of
all of Froogle's listings. But when you click it, it takes your
search (which was Yakima Lowriders) and truncates it to just lowriders
- removing what it thought was a place name- and delivers you a long
list of useless search results.

I would imagine that this will affect anyone selling products with
geographic place names in the title.

You can work around it, but it takes a level of thoughtful searching,
that has dropped our froogle sales for this brand considerably.
