Which Wake Forest do you mean?

Last week, we rolled out a small feature to help users pinpoint the geography of their searches. When users limit their searches to a certain geography (for example, a city), our site calls upon a geocoding service that translates the name of that geographic location into coordinates to perform the search. In some cases, a location can be reasonably translated into more than one set of coordinates. It used to be that when this happened, we would take the first set of coordinates.

Our small tweak continues to take the first set of coordinates; however, it will now also display other possibilities. For example, if you were to search for pediatricians in "Wake Forest, NC", you'll see a list of pediatricians in the vicinity of Wake Forest University, NC. You'll also see the option to see search results near the city of Wake Forest, NC.
