Hi Marc

I like your service

I was wondering if your service can take a parameter, fx a country, that would make results from this place be the first presented? That is, not filter/restrict results to this country or area, but make results from there go to the top of the list.

Sincerely Frederik

at the moment there are no such plans as hardly anybody is asking for this feature.
